Situations Vacant

Marketing & Membership Officer

Landscaping Victoria Master Landscapers (LV) is a progressive association of committed professionals working in an exciting and expanding industry. It comprises commercial and residential landscape contractors, landscape designers, students and educators, and landscape service and product suppliers who share the common goal of promoting the Association's standards of 'Quality, Pride and Professionalism'.

We are looking for a similarly committed professional; an enthusiastic and experienced Marketing & Membership Officer. The role is the first point of contact for existing and potential new Members and Industry Partners and provides support to the Executive Officer and Board to operate across key business areas of Membership, Events, Marketing, Publications, Training and Regulations.

We are looking for an agile self-starter to join our small but passionate team who is personable, well organised, flexible and enthusiastic.

The effectiveness of the person in this role will depend on their ability to manage multiple tasks with competing timelines and participate in the activities and events of the association - we are looking for a duck…someone who can seemingly navigate the busy waters of Association business with outward grace, while paddling energetically under the surface!

As such, ideally the successful candidate will have experience working in a membership-based organisation, preferably not for profit.  High level verbal and written communication skills with a professional telephone manner, solid computer and time management skills together with a high attention to detail are expected. A current driver's license and car are essential to periodically attend off-site meetings and events.

Reporting to the Executive Officer (EO), the role is available immediately for the right candidate who can demonstrate the required skills.

The primary function of this position is to take ownership of marketing/event and membership services. With the support and oversight of the EO, this role will provide the successful candidate the opportunity to initiate and execute projects autonomously.  The focus of the position is to ensure all Members are provided with the benefits and services they need to assist them in operating and growing their businesses through the successful delivery of multi-faceted events. There is also a key goal of achieving high retention of membership, as well as growing membership year on year.

Responsibilities include:

• Develop and follow up new membership leads, as well as maintain relationships with current members; 
• Actively engage with members to encourage and support their involvement in events, training and other member activities to increase participation rates; 
• Update and manage social media channels to increase awareness to public and expand our professional network;
• Maintain web content, updating both public and member-only pages, and manage all aspects of SEO, analytics, and online enquiries;
• Support continuous business improvement by contributing to the refinement of member services and processes; 
• Work with various internal stakeholders to produce member communications including event collateral and material such as weekly email newsletters, and printed publications.  You must be able to initiate and execute these projects with minimal supervision, and liaise with external suppliers and subcontractors as required, including promotion/sales of advertising opportunities;
• Process new memberships, respond to new enquiries and maintain the member database;
• Assist the accounts team with the collection of membership fees and issue invoices for events and event and online purchases;
• Develop ad hoc reports for the Board and EO, as required;
• Attend external events as a representative of LV as required;

Selection Criteria

• A minimum of 5 years previous experience in an administration/membership management role or similar
• A strong background in Communications and/or Marketing would be advantageous
• Demonstrated high level of experience with MS Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint in particular), and Xero accounting (or similar). Experience with Accelo or a similar cloud-based CRM would be advantageous as would skills with Illustrator/graphics and collaborative tasking programs
• Strong attention to detail and ability to multitask
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Copywriting experience a bonus.
• Proven ability in managing projects end to end
• A high level of motivation and commitment, you need to be flexible and adaptable, and take responsibility for your actions
