Social Streets

Membership Manager, Social Streets C.I.C

Social Streets C.I.C is looking for a Memberships Manager to help us deliver our impact journalism to more people.

Social Streets is looking for someone with communications and content marketing experience to help promote and grow our magazine membership for its network of community publications including Roman Road LDN.

This is an opportunity to join a small but passionate social enterprise that is pioneering a model of community journalism to strengthen the local community. Everyone on the team is community-minded and wants to do something a bit more meaningful, whatever their role. As a social enterprise, we are committed to creating a model for local journalism that places collaboration at the heart of everything we do, and this includes the manner in which we achieve financial sustainability ensuring it is done for the benefit, rather than at the expense, of the local community.

This is a very varied role including face to face time with various members of the community, from shop owners to directors of local charities, art and culture centres, social enterprises, schools and faith groups.

The progression from this role would be to become our Business Development Manager, with a more strategic role in the growth of our social enterprise.

Job role and responsibilities

  • Grow our memberships increasing the number of both individual and organisation members.
  • Develop campaign and marketing ideas to promote our membership
  • Develop relationships with organisations and key community stakeholders such as local arts, culture, education and charitable groups
  • Produce our quarterly member’s newsletter
  • Promote and manage membership engagement on our social media platforms
  • Promote media sales and services including advertising opportunities in The Slice
  • Raise awareness of Social Streets C.I.C within the social enterprise and media sectors
  • Apply to awards, grants and projects

Personal qualities and experience

This role would particularly suit those with the following qualities and experience:

  • An interest in social enterprise or passion to make a difference in society
  • A warm and outgoing personality – this is very much a people person’s job
  • Experience of sales or PR or marketing or lead generation or customer service

 

Make a difference  

This is an opportunity to use your skills to achieve a positive social and economic impact on local community life.

Social Streets is a social enterprise that was set up to pioneer a model of community journalism that is sustainable even in disadvantaged areas. An essential part of this model is to develop revenue models that complement more traditional sales and advertising.

You will work alongside founder and director Tabitha Stapely. Stapely has extensive experience and networks in the world of magazine publishing, digital content strategy, social enterprise, and local authority. She was previously Digital Director at Elle magazine; is an alumna of Cambridge Social Ventures; is an RSA Fellow, and has been invited to be a Fellow of Social Innovation at Cambridge University.

Experience, salary and working arrangements  

This is a full-time role, working 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

Salary in the region of £25,000.

Application process  

Email us with your CV and a covering letter explaining why you would like to work for a social enterprise and any experience you have of membership organisations.

Deadline: Monday 17th February 2022
