Society of Volunteer Fire Company Officers

Membership Director

Lead membership strategy for 5,600 volunteer fire company officers, overseeing renewal, recruitment and chapter relations.

The Society of Volunteer Fire Company Officers is hiring a Membership Director to lead renewal, recruitment and chapter relations for its 5,600 members.

About Society of Volunteer Fire Company Officers

The Society represents 5,600 officers of volunteer fire companies from a 9-person staff in Frederick. Members serve part-time alongside full-time jobs, and membership rises and falls with the health of the volunteer fire service itself, which makes recruitment as much a part of this role as renewal.

What you'll do

  • Own the annual renewal calendar and the recruitment pipeline for new officers

  • Manage a team of two membership coordinators

  • Analyze renewal and recruitment data and report trends to the executive director

  • Build relationships with state volunteer fire associations that refer new members

  • Oversee the membership database and dues billing system

  • Develop retention campaigns targeted at officers approaching non-renewal

  • Represent the Society at state fire-service conferences and trainings

What you bring

  • 5+ years in membership management, with at least 2 in a leadership role

  • Experience managing a membership database and dues-billing process

  • Comfort presenting renewal and recruitment data to an executive director and board

  • Familiarity with the volunteer fire service or a willingness to learn its structure quickly

  • A track record of hitting renewal-rate or recruitment targets in a prior role

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision coverage

  • 401(k) with a 4% employer match

  • 15 days of paid time off plus federal holidays

  • Travel covered for state fire-service conferences
