membership and engagement manageR
JOIN OUR TEAM!
Are you:
- someone with a strong commitment to gender equality and human rights?
- a strategic thinker who can develop and implement an effective membership and engagement strategy for a network?
Can you:
- cultivate relationships and build communities around common goals?
- motivate yourself, work independently and be a contributor within the team?
Do you:
- know how to gather insights from membership engagement to inform all areas of EVAW’s work?
- have the organisational and administrative skills to bring it all together?
Then you could be the person we need to work strategically with EVAW’s Directors, Trustees and staff to make membership work at EVAW a core priority.
If you are appointed, you will be joining our small, busy and collaborative team at an exciting time as we deliver our new Organisational Strategy for 2025-2030. This strategy was developed in consultation with our members and we are looking to implement it in collaboration with them. You will:
- lead the development and delivery of our next Membership Strategy
- help us review our current membership
- with an intersectional lens, actively look into gaps in our membership and create different strategies to address them
- work on deepening of relationships and connections with members
- review and improve the various ways we communicate and engage with our members
- ensure this knowledge shapes EVAW’s campaigning and policy aims and centres EVAW’s diverse coalition members in the work we do
- work with the chair of the EVAW Board membership sub-group to ensure effective quarterly meetings and support induction of new members to the sub-group
This role gives you the opportunity to act on your commitment to gender equality and human rights, and to contribute to EVAW’s anti-racism analysis by bringing insight, knowledge and suggestions.
You might have been in the violence against women and girls (VAWG) sector or led membership or other networks elsewhere, either as an employee or as a volunteer. Whatever your background, you will bring an understanding of VAWG and a firm commitment to ending it.
