• Deliver value to members and support and empower their network of clubs
• Porirua location with easy parking

Dogs NZ is the largest organisation of dog owners in New Zealand, with a strong focus on healthy, active, well-mannered dogs and responsible dog ownership.

Their ten-year strategy is focused on delivering value to members and supporting and empowering their national network of clubs. These are strategic priories that the newly created Membership & Club Development Manager position will directly contribute to.  

Reporting to the Director Secretary, you will be responsible for developing and implementing new programs that support the growth of their membership and strengthens their clubs, as well as ensuring they receive the ongoing the service and support they deserve.

• Identifying and developing improvements to the processing of new membership / kennel name applications and renewal programs.
• Maintenance of the Dogs NZ Membership Database and the dispatch of membership renewal invoices and reminders.
• Servicing of the Club Show Schedule and judging appointments.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety, challenge and breadth of responsibilities that come with working in not for profit / membership-based organisations. It will draw on your previous experience in developing and implementing programmes to grow a membership or similar, and will provide the opportunity to take ownership, stamp your mark and play a pivotal role in growing and supporting Dogs NZ membership and their national network of clubs.

Person Profile:

• Previous experience working within a membership context
• Demonstrated track record of implementing growth programs, ideally within membership organisations
• Proven experience developing robust systems and processes
