  • Own the full-funnel marketing strategy driving new member growth across all membership tiers
  • Build high-performing programs across organic, digital, referral, content, and partnership channels—designed to attract the right leaders, not simply more of them

  • Deep fluency in experiential marketing and a track record of turning in-person experiences into lasting brand equity and measurable growth
  • A builder's mentality—you have launched things from scratch, made decisions without complete information, and learned by doing
  • Full command of the modern marketing stack: brand strategy, performance marketing, content, social, email, CRM, SEO, AI and analytics
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills
  • A genuine belief that relationships are the most durable competitive advantage—not just as a philosophy, but as a strategic growth lever
  • You are energized by building with intention at speed—holding the brand standard while pushing hard for growth
