MARCHON
Job Description
MARCHON is the UK’s premium performance-lifestyle ecosystem, one brand that helps driven people train, fuel and dress for a life without limits. World-class coaching sits at the centre, backed by certified performance nutrition and movement-ready apparel, all amplified by our beacon gyms.
Founded by ex-England rugby player and CEO Ollie Marchon, the company has grown from a single HQ club to a true omni-channel offering: the Train app, a fast-scaling supplement line, and physical hubs that bring the experience to life.
We’re still small enough that every new teammate leaves fingerprints on the product, yet the momentum is real. Our 2026 plans are ambitious to say the least, as we make a step-change in evolving our ecosystem between training, supplements and apparel.
We are hiring a Community & Events Lead and your mission is simple: make sure MARCHON shows up in the moments that matter, creating partnerships, experiences and activations that make us one of the most talked-about brands in performance lifestyle.
This role is a hybrid position, where two days will be based in our office in Harpenden.

• Identify, recruit and onboard our affiliates and athletes who authentically represent the MARCHON brand.

• Continuously identify opportunities for MARCHON to become part of new conversations, communities and cultural moments.
• Represent MARCHON at events, partner activations and community experiences, acting as one of the public faces of the brand.

• Support the planning and delivery of MARCHON's presence at major fitness events including HYROX, Turf Games, ATHX and partner activations.

• Work closely with Operations to coordinate logistics, staffing, stock, equipment and event delivery.
• Support Marketing to create bold, disruptive and guerrilla-style activations that generate conversation both on the ground and online.
• Ensure every activation reflects the premium standards of the MARCHON brand.
Reporting & Insight
• Measure the effectiveness of events, partnerships and activations against agreed objectives.
• Report on attendance, partnership performance, customer acquisition and commercial impact, using insights to continually improve future activity.
• Keep a regular pulse on competitor activations, emerging trends and opportunities across the performance lifestyle landscape.
Experience & Skills
• 4-6 years' experience in community, partnerships, events or brand marketing, ideally within fitness, sport or lifestyle.
• Experience planning and delivering brand activations or community events.
• Proven ability to build and manage long-term partnerships.
• Experience managing affiliate, ambassador or athlete programmes.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills.
• Active participant in the fitness community (HYROX, functional fitness, running, CrossFit or similar).
