ABOUT BOND
Bond is the UK network for organisations working in international development. We unite and support a diverse network of over 400 civil society organisations to help eradicate global poverty, inequality and injustice. We strengthen and champion the sector to make international development more efficient and effective. We work to influence governments and policy-makers, develop the skills of people in the sector, share expertise, and build organisational capacity and partnerships.
MAIN PURPOSE OF THE JOB
The primary focus of this external-facing role is to ensure that Bond’s member organisations are deeply engaged across a wide-range of Bond services and activities.
Using an account management approach, you will thrive on seeking out, building and nurturing relationships with key job roles at every level within our member organisations, offering them regular support and advice on how to get the most out of their membership of Bond.
As the first point of contact for Bond members, you will deliver outstanding customer service with a warm, helpful, and confident demeanour, lead meetings with members to understand their needs and identify engagement opportunities, and introduce members to Bond colleagues when appropriate. A firm grasp of the Member Value Proposition is essential, as is the ability to confidently and enthusiastically speak to all aspects of it when interacting with members.
Working alongside the membership and marketing manager, you will help to develop and implement strategies to retain existing members, using data (in Salesforce, our CRM) to inform and tailor our approach including identifying members with low activity or gaps in engagement.

You will also regularly compose member emails and newsletters and contribute to Bond reporting and Board papers.
While the role sits in the Communications and Member Services team, it is integral across the organisation. You will regularly meet and collaborate with colleagues across our policy and advocacy, sector transformation and senior leadership teams to possess a thorough understanding their work and the value-add it provides to members. Likewise, your deep comprehension of what members need from Bond will input into Bond’s strategy and membership offer.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

- Create and implement effective strategies to engage members and keep them involved and interested in Bond’s activities and initiatives.
- Build and nurture relationships with key member audiences to better understand their needs and requirements of Bond and clearly articulate the member value proposition.

- Ensure the contact data we hold on key member contacts is accurate.
- Coordinate the member renewals process including the communications schedule, automated reminders, reviewing fees and raising invoices.
- Work alongside the membership and marketing manager, Director of CMT and colleagues to develop and implement the member retention strategy, audience profiling work and Member Value Proposition.
- Provide regular communications and updates to member contacts using the Campaign Monitor email marketing tool.
- Contribute ideas to the improvement and development of the membership structures and systems.
- Be the first point of contact for membership queries.
Data analysis and insights
- Monitor, analyse and report on membership activity held in our CRM (Salesforce).
- Use data to understand trends and inform member engagement and service delivery.
- Work with colleagues to ensure that engagement information is logged in our CRM in an accurate and timely manner.
- Support the creation and analysis of member insight surveys.
- Work with team members to ensure that data is held in accordance with Bond’s data protection policy.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
