Job description

CGX is a premium global fitness platform built around evidence‑based training, long‑term health, and trust with our members. We are content‑led and member‑first.

At the heart of CGX is our founder and creator. She designs and performs every workout and sets the standard our members trust.

This role exists to build a calm, professional, world‑class content operation around a creator whose work sets the standard for CGX.

The role

As Director of Content Operations, you will own everything operational that surrounds CGX content so our Founder and Creator can focus fully on programming, performance, and creative leadership.

You will be the senior operational partner to the creator and the owner of the content engine that turns vision into reliable, member‑ready content across workouts, nutrition, and knowledge.

This is a hands‑on leadership role with real authority. You will set structure, remove friction, protect time, and ensure content is delivered to the highest standard without chaos or last‑minute stress. You will have clear decision‑making authority within agreed creative boundaries.

What you will be responsible for

Protecting and supporting the creator

• Act as the single operational partner to the Founder and Creator
• Protect her time, energy, and focus at all times
• Ensure she is never pulled into logistics, coordination, or chasing
• Plan filming schedules around performance, recovery, and family life
• Create a calm, prepared, professional filming environment

Content planning and delivery

• Own the master content calendar across programs, series, and releases
• Plan filming cycles and production timelines with realistic pacing
• Ensure nothing starts without proper planning and readiness

Filming, studio, and production operations

• Own end‑to‑end filming and studio operations
• Ensure the studio is fully prepared in advance of every shoot
• Manage production and post‑production workflows
• Ensure consistency, quality, and on‑time delivery

Non‑workout content operations

• Own operational delivery of meal ideas, recipes, and knowledge articles
• Translate high‑level themes into clear execution plans
• Coordinate contributors, photographers, and suppliers
• Ensure follow‑ups, approvals, imagery, and metadata are handled proactively
• The Founder sets direction and standards, not delivery

CMS, metadata, and content readiness

• Own content operations input into the CMS
• Ensure content workflows are practical and reduce duplication
• Own metadata standards, accuracy, and completeness
• Maintain a single source of truth for content status

Team leadership and coordination

• Line‑manage content coordination and production roles
• Set clear expectations and hold the team accountable
• Coordinate closely with Design, Product, and Engineering
• Remove blockers and resolve issues before they escalate

External partners

• Manage photographers, editors, writers, and other suppliers
• Ensure suppliers deliver to CGX standards
• Prevent operational noise reaching the creator

What this role is not

• It does not define training philosophy
• It does not design workouts
• It does not override creative authority
• It is not about volume over quality
• It is not a generic content management role
• It is not a role where the Founder is the operational safety net

This role exists to enable excellence, not to sit above it.

Who this role is for

You are likely someone who has:

• Senior experience in content operations, production operations, or studio leadership
• Experience supporting high‑performing creators, talent, or experts
• A calm, organised, and proactive operating style
• Strong people leadership and follow‑through
• Pride in working behind the scenes to enable great work
• High standards and attention to detail
• Alignment with evidence‑based, member‑first values

You do not need to be a fitness expert, but you must respect the integrity of the work and the importance of protecting the creator.

Why join CGX

• Work directly alongside a world‑class creator whose work impacts millions
• Build the content engine of a fast‑growing global platform
• Do meaningful work that genuinely helps people
• Be trusted with real ownership and responsibility
• Join a company that values quality, integrity, and calm execution

Benefits and package

• Competitive salary of £90,000 to £110,000 depending on experience
• Generous pension scheme
• Private medical insurance
• Life insurance and critical illness cover
• Gym access at our Belfast HQ
• A supportive, values‑led working environment focused on quality and long‑term wellbeing

Location and working style

• This is a full time role based in Belfast
• The role requires a strong in‑person presence during filming and production
• Filming takes place across CGX locations, including our Belfast HQ and private studio environments
• Flexibility is essential to support production schedules and creator availability
• This role is not suited to fully remote working
