Job description - Membership & Experience Lead
As the Membership & Player Experience Lead, you will own the end-to-end member journey - from first enquiry through to active participation and departure.

This role sits within the Marketing team, working closely with Programmes and Digital to build solutions that strengthen our community at every touchpoint.
We're looking for someone with great instincts who thinks like a product owner: analytically curious, empathetic and energised by the challenge of building something that genuinely works better for the families we serve.
The role offers a unique opportunity to shape how the charity engages its community as they grow nationally.

- Design and deliver community touchpoints that make members feel valued and connected, thinking creatively about what excellent membership looks.
- Identify trends in enquiries and support requests, using them to drive upstream improvements.
- Feed insight from member interactions directly into website and product decisions, working with Marketing to reduce friction in the booking and sign-up journey.
- Act as the primary point of contact for all inbound enquiries from current and prospective players and their families across email, phone and other channel.
- Guide prospective members through the sign-up process with care and attention, giving each enquiry the time it deserves and converting interest into active participation.
- Review and process financial support applications sensitively and efficiently.
- Collaborate with the Marketing team on outbound member communications, ensuring messages are timely, relevant, and consistently reflective of BFF's values.
- Design, build, and manage a centralised enquiry and ticketing system that creates visibility and accountability.
- Working with the digital team to automate processes where possible.
- Generate regular membership reports (from Salesforce), surfacing trends in signups, cancellations, enquiry conversion, and retention; and translating data into clear recommendations for the team.
- Job requirements- Membership & Experience Lead
- A 1st class or 2:1 bachelor's degree in a challenging subject from a top 10 university.
- A genuine belief in football as a tool for social impact.
- Experience in a customer service, membership, or community engagement role - ideally in an office or digital-first environment.
- Demonstrated ability to build or improve customer-facing systems and processes, not just operate them.

- Empathy and cultural sensitivity, with an awareness of the barriers faced by under-served communities including families with English as a second language.
