Bring your CRM, customer journey and membership experience into an environment where you can build processes and journeys from the ground up, delivering measurable results within impactful environments that drive real social impact.

We are looking for a hands-on operator to build the engine behind how a group of membership-based incubations grow, engage and thrive. This role is employed by Purposeful Ventures and will work across two of our incubated organisations – The Baby Bank Alliance and Open Education AI (OEAI), where you will design and build their CRM, marketing, onboarding and membership engagement infrastructure.

This is a standalone role where you will be the person researching, selecting, configuring and running the systems, giving you the opportunity to really get stuck in with shaping growth infrastructure.

If you have built CRM or growth infrastructure in a commercial setting and are looking to apply that skillset to organisations achieving real social impact, this is an opportunity to own the entire membership and engagement process end-to-end – and to see the difference that it makes.

This role is about combining sharp systems thinking with practical implementation — designing the strategy and then rolling up your sleeves to make it work. You will also have:

• Real ownership — You will design and run the entire system.
• Visible impact — Your work directly influences growth and sustainability.
• Intellectual challenge — Multiple organisations, evolving needs, real complexity.
• Purpose-driven work — Apply your skills to organisations that exist for public benefit.
• Room to grow — As the organisations scale, the role could evolve with them

Responsibilities and duties

CRM selection, setup and ownership

• Ensure that all data practices are robust and GDPR compliant
• Maintain and continuously improve the CRM system, and act as the internal CRM owner

Membership onboarding and member value (OEAI)

• Map and redesign the full member journey from awareness → sign-up → onboarding → engagement → renewal
• Create clear and straightforward processes that improve member experience
• Lead membership engagement activities, including the utilisation of our community on Circle
• Create campaigns that encourage members to use the features that matter the most and which will give them maximum value
• Play a significant role in shaping the roadmap based on real customer insights
• Be the overall membership engagement owner

Community growth and communications (OEAI)

• Source and implement appropriate tools to underpin and enhance this infrastructure, for example, Zoom, sales demo tools, email platforms and automation software
• Ensure system integration across CRM, website, events, communications and finance to enable a seamless experience
• Improve on the capturing, tracking and reporting of sales leads
• Ensure the operational backbone is strong enough to support growth

Membership operations

• Run and maintain the membership database, ensuring high data quality
• Improve internal processes for tracking and reporting membership engagement

This is a pivotal role, supporting the co-ordination and administration of our income, fundraising activity, financial management, cost efficiency, impact data, and funding reporting. You will contribute directly to the organisation’s sustainability, growth, and financial accountability, working closely with our Volunteer Treasurer and the Director - who provides strategic oversight whilst remaining actively involved in the day-to-day operations. 

You will help co-ordinate and develop a range of income streams and funding projects, including individual giving, community fundraising, events, corporate partnerships, and trusts and foundations. The role also involves supporting new fundraising opportunities, monitoring impact and fundraising data, stewarding donors through engagement and communications, and assisting with funding applications and reporting.

Alongside this, you will play a key role in the day-to-day financial administration of the charity. This includes tracking income across multiple platforms, monitoring expenditure, and producing reports to support forecasting and strategic planning.

You will also support the administration and review of core organisational contracts, such as utilities, insurance, IT, and HR, helping to ensure value for money and operational efficiency.

Working collaboratively with colleagues and partners, you will help gather and present impact data across our services, tailoring this for both internal use and external stakeholders.

This is a varied and rewarding role, suited to a highly organised administrator with strong Microsoft Office skills (particularly Excel), excellent written and numerical ability, and a keen eye for detail. You should be comfortable working with data and finances, whilst also engaging confidently with a wide range of people—including donors, partners, volunteers, and guests. An understanding of, and empathy with, the homelessness sector is essential.
