* Manage member administration: Process membership changes, and ensure all records are accurate and compliant.
* Payment management: Monitor failed payments, contact members to resolve issues, and update direct debit mandates to ensure continuity of membership.
* Debt recovery: Proactively chase outstanding balances and work with finance and management to recover overdue payments promptly and professionally.
* Sales & conversions: Support lead follow-ups, membership renewals, and re-engagement campaigns to hit monthly sales and retention targets.
* Customer service: Handle member queries and complaints efficiently, providing professional, solutions-focused support.
* Operational alignment: Liaise with fitness, spa, and reception teams to ensure a seamless member experience.
* Reporting: Track activity, performance metrics, and member feedback, providing updates to management.
Skills & Experience:
* Proven experience in sales, account management, or customer service - ideally within a leisure, fitness, or hospitality environment.
