ABOUT BLOK
At BLOK, we're not just a gym — we're a movement community.
We run three highly successful locations (Clapton, Shoreditch, Manchester), and are on the cusp of rolling BLOK out across London and beyond.
We’re looking for a sharp, high-energy partner to work alongside our CEO in running and growing the business — someone who thrives in organised chaos, brings momentum to ideas, and help build and protect the culture that makes BLOK, BLOK.
This is a hybrid role that blends executive support with strategic project coordination. It’s less about job titles and more about mindset: we need someone who’s proactive, resourceful, calm under pressure, emotionally intelligent, and always two steps ahead.
See the gap. Fill it. Keep things moving. If that’s your energy, we want to meet you.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
You’ll act as the CEO’s right hand — trusted with everything from managing priorities to pushing projects over the finish line. You’ll bring clarity to fast-moving conversations, keep teams connected, and ensure nothing critical falls through the cracks.
You'll split your time between:
* Enabling the CEO to focus (through sharp organisation and communication)
* Owning key projects that drive internal alignment and business growth
Cultural fit is everything to us. We want someone who lives and breathes collaboration, curiosity, and creativity — and who’s excited to build the BLOK culture as much as the BLOK brand.
WHAT YOU'LL SUPPORT:
* Managing the CEO’s calendar, travel, inbox, and daily priorities
* Preparing agendas, presentations, board materials, and key meeting follow-ups
* Drafting and refining internal communications on behalf of the CEO
* Acting as a trusted liaison between the CEO and the wider BLOK team
* Supporting occasional personal admin with discretion and care
* Setting up & managing company & team OKR’s
WHAT YOU'LL OWN:
* Tracking and driving cross-functional projects and operational priorities
* Monitoring internal processes, identifying friction points, and suggesting improvements
* Coordinating leadership meetings, project timelines, and execution rhythms
* Shaping and supporting initiatives that strengthen BLOK’s culture and team engagement
* Acting as an early warning system for operational or team challenges
* Light-touch support on business tools, project management, and efficiency systems
ABOUT YOU:
* You are ultra-organised, detail-driven, and love making things run smoothly
* You are emotionally intelligent, discreet, and able to "read the room"
* You’re proactive and solutions-focused — if you spot a problem, you lean in
* You thrive on variety and can juggle fast-changing priorities without losing your cool
* You communicate clearly and persuasively, whether it’s a team update or a board deck
* You are curious, adaptable, and driven by a love of learning
* You live and breathe the values of the BLOK community: authenticity, creativity, connection
BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:
* Previous experience as an EA, Ops Coordinator, Chief of Staff, or hybrid support role
* Startup, hospitality, or fast-growth environment experience
* Confidence with Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, Asana or similar tools
* Strong writing, presentation, or project management skills
* Experience running OKR’s
WHY BLOK:
We’re a close-knit team building something special. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to shape not just how the CEO works, but how the whole business scales.
We move fast, care deeply, and believe work should feel both challenging and meaningful.
If that sounds like your kind of energy, we’d love to hear from you.
BENEFITS:
* Full access to all BLOK studios and On-Demand workouts for free, one additional free membership and three discounted memberships (and free passes) for your friends, and complimentary use of our cafe when on site
* Exclusive discounts at our retail partners including clothing, lifestyle and restaurant brands across London and Manchester
* We are a company focused on the wellbeing of our employees, our Employee Assistance Programme offers free counselling, as well as financial and legal advice to everyone who works for us
* 30 days holiday a year for full time employees (the 30 days includes public holidays in England and Wales), plus get an extra day for each year you’ve worked for BLOK (up to a max of 35)
* Access to 6 paid company sick days a year
* A BLOK Pension (4% BLOK contribution, 3% Employee, 1% Government)
