Senior Payroll Manager

In August 2026, we welcomed members to our 16th club, Paternoster
Square. In the heart of the city, just moments from St Paul’s, our newest club
offers high-spec training zones, from Reformer Pilates and Yoga to a dedicated
Strength & Conditioning Studio, all alongside a world-class wet spa.

As we look ahead, our ambition is to continue growing our
estate over the next five years, while ensuring the infrastructure behind our
business evolves with us. Payroll will play a critical role in that journey,
ensuring our people are paid accurately and on time, while delivering the
robust processes, controls and compliance needed to support an increasingly
complex and growing organisation. To support this next phase, we’re looking for
