Our Values

One Family, Supporting Members to Thrive, Be Authentic, and A Learning Mindset

Working with us, you’ll enjoy:

The opportunity to bring your ideas, show initiative and help improve how we engage with our members.

The chance to build your experience across member engagement, communications, CRM and marketing automation.

Being part of a supportive, committed and values-driven team.

Working with family businesses, advisors and experts across Australia and Current Zealand.

About the Role

Do you enjoy connecting with people, finding ways to keep them engaged and using technology and data to make it all happen?





We're looking for a Membership Engagement Officer to join Family Business Association (FBA) and help us strengthen how we communicate with, engage and support our members across Australia.

This is a varied, hands-on role that brings together member engagement, communications and CRM operations.

Reporting to our National Membership Manager, and working alongside our State Representatives and Marketing and Communications team, you'll help deliver targeted communications and outreach activities that support member acquisition, engagement and retention. You'll enjoy picking up the phone to have a conversation, following up with members and helping them connect with relevant FBA events, programs and opportunities.

We're looking to make the most of our new system and CRM. You'll help maintain accurate membership data, develop member engagement pipelines and automations, and explore how we can use segmentation to communicate more effectively with our members. There's plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas and help improve how we do things.

You'll bring around 4+ years of relevant experience in membership, customer engagement, communications, an executive assistant role or a similar field, along with a relevant qualification. Experience with CRM systems and member communications will be highly regarded, but we're equally interested in your ability to learn, think critically and take initiative.

Just as important to us is finding the right person for our team, you don’t have to tick every box. We're a small, supportive group who genuinely care about our members and the work we do. We live by our values and are looking for someone who shares that approach.

Applications close on Monday 16 November. Please note that we will begin reviewing applications upon receipt and will commence interviews prior to the closing date. Only applicants progressing to interview stage will be contacted.
