NLGN has been the leading think tank for local government, communities and public services for over twenty years. Our network of over forty local authority and corporate members is our biggest asset. They guide our thinking, allow our ideas to influence decision-makers and keep us connected to the reality of delivering frontline services and running major organisations.

We are seeking someone to lead our goal of strengthening, supporting and growing our network. The successful candidate will be willing and able to act as creatively, collaboratively and in as self-determined a way as possible. The right person will not be afraid of experimentation or radical new ways of working. Ideally the successful candidate will have had experience of managing and/or growing membership networks in the commercial, public or social sector.

The Head of Membership Network has the following specific goals:

• To ensure the most innovative councils and other partners who could benefit from NLGN’s activity and insight are part of our network including growing the size of the network as appropriate.
• To develop a strong sense of shared mission and values amongst the members of our network based on our three core values.
• To ensure that the members of our network are always supported so they are able to improve the lives of their people and places in line with our vision.
