Social Media Manager

We are PASSIONATE. We are AMBITIOUS. We are COMMITTED. We are AYBL.

Ranked the number one fastest-growing private company in The Sunday Times 100 2022, AYBL has quickly become one of the most iconic women's activewear brands worldwide since launching in the UK in 2018. With a mission to unite women through their love for fitness, we are dedicated to providing high quality, affordable activewear which seamlessly combines comfort, confidence and style. From this, our ethos “AYBL to believe, AYBL to achieve” was born.

Built on ambition, we only strive to be the very best. This means we want people who are equally ambitious, know when to take risks and consider themselves the best in their field.

As a brand, we pride ourselves on diversity and inclusion. That means all opportunities are equal opportunities. We value skills, we value individuality and above all, we value passion. Therefore, we will not tolerate discrimination of any sort.

The opportunities right now are limitless. We are looking to hire genuine people who demonstrate authenticity and a unique way of thinking.

As we grow, you'll grow too.
