Position Overview
About this Role
Toniic is recruiting for an Executive Vice President, Global Head of Membership based on the East Coast of the United States. The role has these broad categories of responsibilities:
1. Serving as second-in-command within the organization, supporting the CEO on key business decisions
2. Managing the success of the Membership Line of Business (P&L responsibility)
Toniic’s EVP, Global Head of Membership is the second-in-command within the organization, leading the Membership Services Line of Business (our largest LoB).
The primary goal of Membership Services is achieving Toniic’s desired impact by delivering services and programs that provide value to members and driving membership growth. The role is responsible for coordinating the team to meet membership targets laid out in the annual budget. Although Toniic is structured as a non-profit, it embodies a for-profit management style. In the language of for-profit enterprise, the Global Head of Membership is responsible for both membership service delivery (member experience) and ales management (acquiring new members).
The EVP is part of a global senior management team, sharing in the responsibility for achieving Toniic’s overall strategic objectives. They will be an observer on the Board of Directors and will lead the Membership Committee of the Board of Directors.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Develop and manage overall membership recruitment and retention strategy to meet annual goals and targets, with P&L responsibility
- Oversee our robust schedule of global online and in-person events
- Lead a team of Member Engagement Managers, Member Support Associates, Investment Research Specialists and the Events & Education Manager in support of the organization’s membership activities
- Provide leadership and direction to the marketing plan and member/prospective member communications
- Ensure that staff are supported and guided, and that their professional development is nurtured
- Recruit new team members as needed and as budget permits
Success Factors
Success in the role requires a process orientation in managing a team directly responsible for membership experience and growth. The role may include some direct key account management.
The leader will live the values of the organization and inspire a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, innovation. Our management style is high-performance, yet more collaborative that the typical corporate style. The ability to inspire results, rather than command through hierarchical power, and an understanding of differing regional contexts is critical. Those coming from leadership positions in a large corporate environment and desiring a more mission-aligned career are well-positioned, provided they understand our distinct culture and that this role in a small non-profit requires more self-support with access to fewer resources. Toniic culture (both within the team and and the membership) also reflects a degree of openness and personal growth for which a candidate should be enthusiastic.
This position requires leadership in execution, business development, financial management, partnerships, team management, and community building within a global and committed group of impact investors.
The Toniic team and membership is global, and we support members with virtual events in all global time zones. the role requires flexibility to work before or after standard business hours, although, in return, offers flexibility during the standard workday. Situating the position in the East Coast time zone will minimize the need for early morning meetings, but occasional evening meetings will be required. This is a work-from-home position, as are all Toniic positions.
Skills /Experience /Qualifications
The successful candidate will have general management experience, together with business development experience, have managed a P&L (or similar), have a commercial and entrepreneurial attitude with strategic vision and good judgment, have an understanding of managing engagement, and will understand impact investing at least at a high level.
