Join the Ada's List team - Membership Manager

We're a group of 7800+ badass people who broadly speaking, work in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. A.K.A:  work in or around the internet.

After six (!) years of growing one of the UK’s largest and most active communities of women in digital, we are ready for the next stage of growth. This is a really exciting, hands on role to help take Adas List to the next level. We want someone who understands membership programs and services; someone who can write compelling content that encourages our members to support our community; someone who is comfortable understanding analytics and conversion rates; and someone who can grow a program from scratch into something truly outstanding. Finally, Ada’s List is a global community, but the majority of our members are UK-based. Crafting a membership program that works locally + globally is going to be really important - and awesome when delivered. 

You will:

• Help define our membership program and create the launch plan around it (ie: what would a pilot look like, how big, etc)

• Be responsible for the analytics and testing of the membership programme. This will mean jointly setting targets with the Ada's List leadership team and then measuring progress towards them. We will also look to this role to optimise the performance of our content via testing, eg A/B testing emails and landing pages when/if appropriate.

• Create the “Ada’s List experience” with the Ada’s List leadership - a set of principles and values that we adhere to in our membership program

• Be ruthless on retention - understand that our members need to stay a passionate part of our community; deliver it, and communicate member needs to the broader Ada’s List team
• Ensure retention processes support the member journey
• Identify member benefits, on/offline, swag, chum, whatever - and produce them

Bonus skills:

• Comfortable with updating design/marketing assets to support our membership program

All Ada’s List staff members are also part-time community managers. We want someone who is passionate about building community and has no problem jumping in and getting the vibe of our community to spot what’s missing and provide it. You will help manage social media channels, monitor and moderate email community, and respond to supporter/member questions.

Why would I work with Ada’s List?

Our agenda is to change the industry - we have done so in the past and will continue to do so.
