WOW - Women of the World (WOW) is a global alliance of partners, driving an equal and inclusive future for women and girls. We deliver impact through festivals, events, leadership and knowledge sharing with these guiding principles.

1. Creativity is a force for progress: We believe creativity and expression are transformative tools for sparking joy, creating community, and realising a better future

2. We’re led by women around the world: Through our shared Global Partnerships, programmes are locally grown in the places where they happen

3. There’s a method to our movement: At the centre of our work is our unique method, rooted in the arts and proven over 15 years, 150 festivals and millions of participants inspired to take action

4. We all have a part to play in an equal world: No matter who you are, WOW is for everyone who believes in gender equality

WOW began as a Festival in 2010, founded by the trailblazing arts leader Jude Kelly CBE and became a UK registered charity in 2020. Watch our film here.

The Membership Programme Manager is a pivotal new role created to work on WOW’s new global Membership Programme (launching October 2025). As WOW evolves to offer a year-round programme of content, connection and community to a growing network online, the postholder will lead the development, delivery and growth of the Membership programme.

The role sits within a dedicated small team who are working together to achieve the aims and objectives of WOW, and will be central in ensuring WOW provides meaningful value to its members while securing new, sustainable income. You’ll help shape the membership offer, drive member engagement, deliver programme content and member events, manage key relationships, and oversee partnership opportunities to strengthen WOW’s global impact.

The role is ideal for someone who brings a commercial mindset, a passion for cultural and social impact, the ability to build and nurture global networks, and the skills to deliver an annual programme of online events.

This role will work with the executive and wider WOW team to:

• Implement the strategy and sales drive to sign up new Members - working to annual financial targets

• Oversee and pioneer membership functions within WOW’s new CRM (Beacon CRM)

• Provide key relationship management for all Members, including developing new/attractive offers and incentives to keep members engaged and participating

• Deliver an exciting annual programme of online events for Members, focused around gender equality. This will include live broadcast events, online webinars, workshops, discussion groups and more

• Develop and contribute to new and developed creative programme for the Membership

• Contribute ideas to, and assist with the delivery of an annual marketing strategy for new and retained Members

• Contribute to the relationship management of current (and any potential new) Global Delivery Partners (GDPs) including working with the Director of Festivals & Programmes and the marketing team to identify new WOW resources produced through WOW’s global festivals for the Membership site

• Feed into other key areas across the organisation – such as new project development, data and evaluation, feedback and stories, as well as production and event management as required by this small team from time to time

Budget management and monitoring, financial targets, and Board level reports will all be included within your work and at times you may be asked to line manage freelance contractors, work experience and/or volunteers.

To achieve all the above, you will work closely with other WOW team members. The role will require excellent communication, the ability to develop strong working relationships, both internally and across the WOW global community of delivery partners.
