Membership Officer

Membership Development Officer (Part-Time, Remote – Yorkshire & Humber region)

Merrifield Consultants are delighted to be partnering with an International Membership Organisation to recruit a dedicated and professional Membership Development Officer. This exciting role involves driving membership growth, providing expert guidance to both members and non-members, and supporting the development of membership strategies.

This position is perfect for someone who thrives in building relationships and has experience in membership development or a related field. While this is a fully remote role, we are seeking candidates ideally based in Yorkshire & Humber or the Northeast, as the role involves supporting members and employers across these regions.
