About the role
The Society of Genealogists is looking for a proactive and digitally confident Membership and Marketing Assistant to support a busy period of membership growth, campaign delivery, and new product development. The role will focus on marketing activity, including email campaigns, content coordination, campaign tracking, website updates, and promotional support, along with membership customer support and database management.
This role would suit a proactive and digitally confident person who enjoys working with online platforms, communications tools, and data. You do not need to have experience in the systems we use, but you should be comfortable learning new tools, following guidance, solving practical problems and asking well-judged questions when needed. You will need to write clear, accurate, and audience-appropriate communications; manage campaign details carefully; and help keep membership and marketing activity moving.
There will also be scope to use AI and other digital tools responsibly to support drafting, planning, troubleshooting, process documentation, and the efficient delivery of work.
What you will be doing
- Supporting routine member communications, including new member, renewal, lapsed member, and upgrade activity.
- Responding to routine membership enquiries using agreed-upon guidance and templates, escalating more complex queries as needed.
- Building, testing, and scheduling email campaigns in Mailchimp from approved copy and assets.
- Supporting delivery of membership, Learning Hub, course, publication, and product campaigns.
- Updating simple website content, campaign pages, or promotional listings where required.
- Checking campaign links, forms, buttons, landing pages, and customer journeys before launch.
- Maintaining campaign calendars, trackers, and delivery checklists.
- Preparing simple campaign and membership activity summaries.
- Helping document recurring processes so that knowledge is shared across the team.
What we are looking for
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to write clearly and accurately.
- Confidence using digital tools and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
- A proactive approach, with good judgement about when to use initiative and when to ask for help.
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
- Comfortable working with online platforms, spreadsheets, databases, and email systems.
- Able to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and small moving parts.
- Able to follow processes carefully and identify where clarification is needed.
- Experience in customer service or supporting marketing activity.
Knowledge of Mailchimp, WordPress, Elementor, CRM systems, membership databases or AI tools would be helpful, but we are most interested in someone who can learn quickly, communicate clearly, and help keep work moving.
We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and may close this vacancy early, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. The ideal start date is 1 July 2026, though we are happy to discuss flexibility for the right candidate. We are also open to candidates working remotely, flexibly, or part-time.
Salary: £25,000 - £29,000 per year, dependent upon location and experience.
Please provide your CV along with a short cover letter outlining why you are applying for this role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!
