ACA Queensland is seeking a confident and commercially minded Membership & Events Manager to grow and engage our member community, deliver high-quality events, and strengthen the long-term sustainability of our membership and event programs.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building relationships, creating polished communications, running professional events, and turning ideas into practical action. You will work closely with the Executive General Manager and a small team, with administrative support but no direct reports.

Key responsibilities

• Grow and engage ACA Queensland’s membership base across childcare centres and sector partners
• Build and manage a pipeline of prospective members, from outreach through to onboarding
• Strengthen member value through proactive engagement, needs analysis and tailored communication
• Lead the design and delivery of ACA Queensland’s events calendar, including the flagship conference and professional development sessions
• Manage event logistics, speaker engagement, sponsorship integration and attendee experience
• Produce high-quality content including newsletters, member updates, event collateral and sector commentary
• Support member retention through onboarding check-ins, renewal conversations and member feedback
• Help build event and membership resilience through sponsorship, regional or virtual events, dashboards and documented processes
• Work closely with the Executive General Manager and broader team to support organisational priorities

About you
You will bring:

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Experience in membership, events, partnerships or stakeholder engagement
• Excellent writing skills and the ability to create compelling content
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Commercial awareness across membership value, sponsorship and event profitability
• Confidence using data or simple dashboards to track member and event trends
• Initiative, autonomy and adaptability in a small, high-impact team

Experience in the early learning sector, community organisations or membership-based associations would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why join ACA Queensland?
You will join a purpose-driven organisation advocating for high-quality, affordable early learning across Queensland. This is a varied and meaningful role where you can influence member experience, strengthen ACA Queensland’s profile, contribute to flagship events and support sustainable organisational growth.
