About Barnsgrove Clubhouse
Barnsgrove is a private members' Clubhouse in Greywell, Hampshire. Opened two years ago, we are building a community around social, work and wellbeing: a place to belong, connect in and grow with. Our members come to socialise, work, meet, learn and recharge, and everything we do is about making them feel welcome, supported and part of something very unique.
The Role
We are looking for a warm, commercially minded and proactive person to join our senior team and lead the growth of our membership and community. We have an ambition to grow our membership significantly over the next year. That growth matters because it makes our community stronger, more diverse and more sustainable. Just as importantly, it should come from people who genuinely connect with what Barnsgrove offers.
You will play a central role in making this happen: building relationships, welcoming prospective members, developing partnerships and working closely with our marketing team to turn interest into membership. You will take ownership of membership growth while helping to create an environment where members feel connected, valued and keen to stay involved. This is a hands-on role at the heart of the Clubhouse. You will be a visible, trusted presence for members and the team, with the autonomy to bring ideas, work to your strengths and take ownership.
You will be part of the team across all areas of the Clubhouse, keeping an eye on how everything fits together. You should be equally comfortable giving a tour, following up with a prospective member, developing a partnership or helping deliver an event.

- Work closely with the marketing team to follow up campaign leads, including leads generated through Meta, and improve conversion from marketing activity to membership.
- Support new members through onboarding and a warm welcome, and lead renewal and off-boarding conversations with care.
- Track enquiries, tours, conversions and sign-ups, sharing insights with the senior team to identify what is working and where we can improve.

- Be a visible, approachable presence across the Clubhouse, getting to know members and understanding how they use the space.
- Build connections between members and encourage participation, helping people get the most from their membership and feel part of the community.
