The Ned City of London houses Ned’s Club - a private members’ space, gym and rooftop - alongside a public spa, a full floor of events spaces, ten restaurants and bars and 248 hotel bedrooms.

Where you’ll be working: You’ll be based out of The Ned London, located in the beautiful old Midland Bank with occasional off-site visits to represent us at an event. We’re in the office five days a week, as we’re very relationship-focused and it’s just not the same on a screen.

• Leverage market insight and data trends to identify risks and opportunities that inform your ongoing strategy and commercial success.
• Lead a small but mighty team of acquisition specialists, setting strategic vision and commercial targets that lead to measurable business impact.

What The Ned can give you:

• Yearly pay of £58,000 to £62,000 depending on experience.

• Exclusive rates at The Ned for staying and eating for you, your family and friends.
• Regular social events, including an annual pool party.
• Employee assistance programme – 24/7 advice and support.

What you can bring to the role:

• Minimum of five years’ experience in membership development, professional working, or aspirational lifestyle services in a premium or luxury brand environment, ideally within hospitality, lifestyle or cultural sectors.
• You’ll handle data with confidence to inform strategy and performance decisions with a clear focus on long term value creation, and you’ll have the proven track record to demonstrate it.
• Bringing a strong network within London, you’ll leverage your established relationships across brands, partners and community organisations.
• With your impeccable leadership skills you’ll be equally comfortable motivating, inspiring, and developing your own team, or collaborating across functions and influencing without hierarchy.
• Your proactive and adaptable nature will mean you are comfortable balancing strategic initiatives with day-to-day delivery.
• A passion for building community and creating memorable, meaningful member experiences.

At The Ned, we don’t just celebrate our diversity, we challenge ourselves to do even better.
