We are seeking a creative and strategic Membership Manager to engage, retain, and grow our membership community while advancing our global conservation mission. As ICF's primary advocate for membership, you will play a key part in connecting supporters to the organization's work to conserve cranes and the places where cranes dance.

As the Membership Manager, you will develop and implement innovative strategies to attract new members, deepen engagement, strengthen retention, and build long-term relationships with supporters. In collaboration with colleagues across the organization, you will create meaningful opportunities for members to connect with ICF's conservation impact, lead targeted outreach and marketing initiatives, and use audience insights and membership data to drive engagement and growth. You will also serve as an ambassador for ICF by engaging with members, visitors, donors, and community partners while helping ensure membership remains a welcoming entry point for lifelong involvement with the organization.
