Head of Membership & Events
£70,000 - £75,000 + excellent benefits Remote (UK) with travel
Our client, a respected national membership organisation operating within a technical and safety‑critical industry, is seeking a Head of Membership & Events to lead a newly shaped portfolio at a pivotal moment in its development.
Representing the vast majority of its sector, the organisation is strengthening how it engages members, expanding its events and seminar programme, and diversifying commercial activity as part of a new strategic direction. This role will play a central part in that evolution.
Working as part of a small, collaborative secretariat, the Head of Membership & Events will:
- Deepen member engagement and broaden the reach of member services
- Grow and professionalise the organisation’s events, seminars and webinars
- Lead on the development of new products, services and commercial opportunities
- Build strong relationships across a technical, regulated industry
- Contribute to organisational strategy while remaining hands‑on with delivery
We are looking for a strong all‑rounder who can balance strategic thinking with operational practicality. Your background may lean more towards membership or events - our client is open - but you will need to demonstrate commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, attention to detail and confidence working with diverse stakeholders.
You will thrive here if you enjoy variety, collaboration and shaping things that haven’t existed before. The organisation’s systems, data and infrastructure are developing, offering both challenge and significant opportunity to make an impact. You will also work closely with colleagues across technical, education and assessment functions, supported by an external PR, marketing and communications specialist.
This is an excellent opportunity to help modernise and elevate a respected industry body, influence a new organisational strategy, and deliver meaningful value for members and the wider sector.
