About the organisation:
The National Retail Association (NRA) is a not-for-profit member association that represents the interests of retailers across Australia. The NRA works closely with government, regulators and industry partners to ensure the voice of retail is heard, while offering their members real-time support through expert advice, training, events, and advocacy.

About the role:
Following a recent merger, the NRA is in an exciting period of transition as they expand their reach and services to better support a growing member base. As a result, this role is being offered as a 6-month fixed-term contract to provide support and continuity during this period of organisational change.

Reporting to the CEO, you will be responsible for leading the growth, retention, and engagement of NRA’s national membership base, while also managing and developing strategic partnerships. This is a high-impact role suited to a relationship-driven professional who can balance big-picture thinking with day-to-day delivery. You’ll work closely with the Executive Team, Member Services, and Marketing to ensure members and partners receive consistent value and support.

To be successful you will have:

• Proven success in membership management, business development, or strategic partnerships within a not-for-profit or member association
• A disciplined approach to pipeline management, renewals, and reporting
• Demonstrate strong commercial acumen across key areas including financial oversight, contract negotiation, project coordination, and team leadership.
• High attention to detail and strong time management skills
• Experience with CRMs (Microsoft Dynamics highly regarded)
• Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills

Responsibilities:

• Retain and grow membership through proactive engagement, renewals, and lead conversion
• Managing a small portfolio of strategic partners and supporting ongoing deliverables
• Leading membership communications and developing tailored proposals in collaboration with the marketing team
• Maintaining accurate data in the CRM and reporting weekly activities to the CEO and Board
• Representing the NRA at industry events, conferences, and networking functions
• Overseeing the membership team’s operations and outputs, including supporting your direct report
