To be successful in this role you will have experience of:
- Growing and retaining membership or subscribers in a comparable organisation.
- Implementing lifecycle journeys using a mix of traditional media and digital technology.
- Managing and communicating member benefits and rewards.
You will be great at this role if you are:
- Highly collaborative, with a talent for influencing and the ability to reconcile opposing views.
- A strategic thinker and able to empathise and relate to the needs of our diverse membership.
- Adept at using data to evaluate situations, present recommendations and make decisions.
- Digitally savvy, you’ll be up to date and open to innovation.
You would be the voice of RYA Membership and a champion for change, so the ability to communicate passionately and effectively is essential.
