Job description

The Membership Director is responsible for building, growing, and protecting the heart of the CIC:
our membership community.
Membership is not a mailing list.
It is a collective of people choosing to belong, contribute, and build together.
This role shapes:

  • How people enter the organisation
  • How they stay connected
  • How they feel valued, informed, and aligned
  • How community becomes sustainability

Essential 

  • Ability to commit grassroots full-time effort during the build phase (rest follows completion, not the clock)
  • Comfort working unpaid while foundational systems and culture are established
  • Deep alignment with community-led, anti-capitalist values and collective ownership
  • High levels of consistency, focus, and self-direction in ambiguous, early-stage environments
  • Clear understanding that meaningful change requires discipline, structure, and follow-through, not aesthetics or hype
  • Commitment to always working through organisational values: Each One Teach One, Love As Law, Knowledge of Self
  • Prior experience in one or more of the following: community building or stewardship, membership programmes or participation models , customer, supporter, or community experience roles, systems thinking and organisational design, digital platforms, CRMs, or data-informed engagement, purpose-driven, grassroots, or movement-led organisations
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with practical implementation
  • Strong relational skills, including listening, facilitation, and respectful boundary-setting
  • Comfort holding complexity, conflict, and accountability with care
  • Willingness to be both architect and steward of culture
  • Integrity, clarity, and long-term commitment

Desirable 

  • (Intentionally left open for growth as the role evolves in an early-stage organisation)

Qualifications

  • Formal qualifications not required

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties

  1. Membership Strategy & Structure

  • Design and implement the CIC’s founding membership model, defining clear entry points, engagement pathways, and retention approaches rooted in participation rather than extraction.

  • Shape intentional progression routes that support members to move from supporter → contributor → leader, ensuring growth in responsibility, agency, and influence over time.

  • Align membership pathways with donor journeys, ambassador programmes, and volunteering routes, ensuring coherence across engagement, fundraising, and advocacy without conflating value with money.

  1. Community Building

  • Create a membership culture where people consistently feel seen, informed, included, and valued, regardless of role, status, or capacity.

  • Establish sustainable rhythms of communication, updates, shared learning, and reflection that foster belonging, trust, and transparency.

  • Enable decentralised participation by supporting member-led initiatives, peer leadership, and collective decision-making rather than top-down control.

  • Act as a steward of healthy community dynamics, encouraging dialogue, accountability, and mutual care.

  1. Systems & Data

  • Oversee the setup and ongoing use of membership systems (e.g. CiviCRM or equivalent), ensuring they serve people rather than manage them.

  • Track and interpret membership growth, engagement, and retention, using insight to strengthen participation and address disengagement early.

  • Work collaboratively with Digital, Finance, and Social teams to maintain clean, accurate data and ensure ethical, transparent, and values-aligned data use.

  1. Values & Culture

  • Protect the integrity of the membership community by upholding CIC values in all structures, communications, and decisions.

  • Identify and address misalignment early, clearly, and respectfully, prioritising restoration and learning over exclusion.

  • Co-create and uphold community standards rooted in care, accountability, and shared responsibility—not surveillance or control.

  1. Founding Responsibility

  • Help design the future paid Membership Department, including roles, systems, and workflows that reflect collectivism and sustainability.

  • Contribute to long-term organisational planning, ensuring membership is a pillar of resilience and shared ownership.

  • Act as a culture carrier, modelling commitment, discipline, and collective leadership throughout the build phase.

This Role Is NOT for You If

You want quick money

You need external validation to stay motivated

You prefer rigid hierarchies

You are uncomfortable with responsibility

You are only here for a title

What You Gain

  • A founding leadership role in a growing CIC

The chance to help design:

  • Future paid roles

  • Income structures

  • Working culture

  • Deep personal transformation through meaningful work

  • Real contribution to social and cultural change

  • Collective success, not individual competition

As the CIC scales, this role is expected to evolve into a paid senior leadership position, shaped by those who built it.

A Final Word

We are not offering security.

We are offering possibility.

We are not promising ease.

We are building truth, structure, and collective power.

If you know the old world is ending —

and you want to help build what comes next —

This role is for you.
