Their focus is on identifying and responding to the opportunities across the State to grow membership and ensure new members are engaged, including driving members’ adoption of available benefits, products, and services (BPS). Working with the Marketing Manager, Regional Executive Directors, Member Engagement Managers/Directors, and leveraging partnership opportunities with like-minded organizations, the Director of Membership produces new members, maintains / increases the Association’s high member retention rate and level of member engagement, and increases the non-dues revenue stream driven by BPS adoption amongst existing membership. Role is based in the Austin office.
DUTIES:

· Collaborate with Chief Operating Officer and NRA membership rep to plan and execute national membership growth events and direct outreach, increasing the total TX-domiciled national members.
Member Engagement & Retention (30%)
As the TRA has evolved, engagement and retention with membership has expanded beyond issuing and collecting dues invoices. Regular contact with members across the State is critical to maintaining an engaged and involved membership. The Director of Membership will be responsible for:
· Successfully executing the annual member life cycle engagement plan, reviewing metrics with key stakeholders, and facilitating an ongoing cycle of continuous improvement and process refinement. Success is measured by meeting or exceeding the annual member retention goal.
· Work with the Member Engagement Managers/Directors to ensure consistent engagement with existing members, management of existing member data within the organization’s CRM, and support the needs of members.
· Develop and coordinate with the Events Marketing Team and Regional Office Teams a best practice model to ensure that membership recruitment/development is incorporated into all events across the state, with a standardized follow-up model and method of tracking to promote high post-event conversion.
· Managing internal chapter development programs, including member referral incentive opportunities and other similar programs that both grow membership and ensure that all Chapters maintain minimum membership levels.
Membership, Benefits, Products, and Services Marketing (30%)
Leveraging the strength of the TRA’s advocacy and thought leadership position within Texas’ foodservice industry, the Director of Membership develops a comprehensive membership and product marketing plan in collaboration with the Events Marketing Department to reinforce the value of membership and articulate the importance of using the resources provided by the TRA to its membership in the areas of compliance and operational efficiency. Key activities include:
· Contribute to the overall development of a robust internal and external communications strategy to engage with industry operators and convert to new members (acquisition) and drive perceived value of membership through products and services, and invaluable information unable to be acquired elsewhere.
· Recommend, create, and execute ad hoc marketing campaigns to drive membership activities within the Member Engagement Team and amongst targeted groups (i.e. reinstatement of long-inactive members) to leverage all opportunities for membership growth.
· Develop and execute comprehensive product roll-out, in collaboration with the Director of Partnerships, and subsequent marketing strategy to ensure successful promotion and adoption of new BPS and to reintroduce existing BPS to drive member awareness and adoption.
· Develop and execute annual/periodic member surveys to support the creation of a cohesive communication plan and ensure relevant content for informative blogs, newsletters, and webinars.
· Support news alerts and other up-to-the-minute pushes to members, keeping them appraised of relevant information and to advertise the training products and services offered by the TRA and its partners.
· Establish a promotional calendar to guide the communication cadence and messaging around member value in collaboration with the Events Marketing Team, providing TRA partners exposure and opportunity to highlight the members-only discounts, rebates, and/or other services they offer to improve operational efficiency.

To support the activites of the role and membership in general, the Director of Membership will be responsible for:
· Generate, review, and distribute weekly membership status update reports and identify areas of opportunity with internal stakeholders.
