About the role

The Membership team is at the heart of the AOI. It is where members come for advice, professional support and connection with the wider illustration community.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Membership Manager to join us for fixed term maternity cover. You will lead a small, dedicated team, ensure members continue to receive an excellent service and take forward our three-year membership strategy.

This is a varied role combining leadership, planning and hands-on delivery. You will protect and grow membership income, oversee our events programme, support the team with member enquiries and develop new ways to make membership more welcoming and relevant to a wider range of illustrators.

Where possible, there will be a handover with the current postholder. You will also be supported by colleagues who share knowledge of the professional and business issues affecting illustrators.

What you will be doing

Leading the Membership team

You will lead and support a small, experienced team, ensuring priorities are clear and members receive a consistently high level of service.

You will:

• Lead, support and develop the Membership team through regular planning, one-to-ones and clear communication.

• Work with colleagues to communicate the value of AOI membership clearly and confidently.
• Develop campaigns and activities that encourage people to join, renew and make full use of their membership.

Leading the events programme

You will:

• Shape and oversee the annual programme of talks, workshops, networking events and professional development activities.
• Manage the events budget and make effective use of available resources.
• Coordinate colleagues, guest speakers and external contributors.
• Ensure the programme offers a strong balance of business support, professional development, community and inspiration.
• Make events welcoming, accessible and relevant to a broad range of illustrators.
• Use events to support member engagement, retention and recruitment.

Supporting members

Our members come to us for trusted advice on the opportunities and challenges they face throughout their careers.

You will:

• Build a strong working understanding of the professional issues affecting illustrators, including business practice, licensing, contracts, pricing and professional standards.
• Support the team in responding to enquiries accurately, clearly and with empathy.
• Identify recurring issues and ensure they inform our events, resources and wider work.
• Build trusted relationships with members and act as an approachable and knowledgeable representative of the AOI.

You do not need to arrive with detailed knowledge of every issue affecting illustrators, but you will need to be curious, able to learn quickly and confident adapting your experience to a specialist creative community.

Working across the AOI

As a small organisation, we work closely across teams and support one another.

You will:

• Work with colleagues across communications, campaigning, awards and other areas of the AOI.
• Contribute ideas and insight to organisational planning and shared projects.
