We’re hiring a Membership Manager

The Victorian Society

 

Membership Manager

FTE

Salary band £35k–£37.5k pro rata

Why not work for the only charity dedicated to fighting to protect and celebrate our Victorian and Edwardian heritage?

The Victorian Society is looking for a highly organised and dynamic Membership Manager to build on its recruitment of new members, to keep members engaged, and to broaden its audience. You will help us to further our charitable objects to educate and inform the public about Victorian and Edwardian heritage.

Founded in 1958, the Victorian Society campaigns to save Victorian and Edwardian heritage, and in its role as statutory consultee advises on alterations to buildings of this period. Its work primarily covers the built heritage of 1837-1914, but all cultural aspects of the era are part of its educational remit. Recently it has adopted sustainability as a charitable object, and your work will contribute to safeguarding the environment.  A small charity with a large brand and media reach, this is an exciting opportunity for someone who is driven to succeed.

We are especially keen to hear from those with experience in comparable heritage organisations, and from Welsh speakers.

Our members are central to the Society’s success. Could you lead on reaching untapped audiences and regions underrepresented in our membership? 

Key skills

  • Proven experience in membership recruitment, retention and management (in the heritage sector is a bonus).
  • Strong understanding of marketing strategies, particularly digital marketing, to reach and engage younger members.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to network and build relationships.
  • Proficient in using membership software and CRM systems to manage member data effectively.
  • Analytical skills to assess membership trends and determine strategic direction.
  • A passion for Victorian heritage and a desire to promote its appreciation and preservation.
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a team and with volunteers across regional groups.
  • A flexible approach to work, with the willingness to attend events outside of standard office hours when necessary.

 

The Victorian Society is run by its Board of Trustees, elected by members, and overseen day-to-day by its Director.

This role is being funded as part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Heritage Grants project.
