The Role…

The Membership Strategy Manager is responsible for delivering Soho House’s global membership strategy across a set of key Houses, translating centrally designed frameworks into locally relevant plans that protect and grow membership revenue. Houses and areas of focus are assigned by the Global Membership Strategy Manager and Chief Membership Officer according to what the role’s base geography allows, and may change over time in line with business need.

Reporting to the Membership Strategy Manager (Global), the role takes agreed global strategy — across retention and engagement, intakes and applications, and new House openings — and leads its execution across its assigned Houses in partnership with the Regional Membership Director, House Membership teams and the Soho Support Member Success function.

The role is the strategic link between global strategy and local delivery. It applies global frameworks to the specific conditions of its assigned Houses, manages the data and performance cycle behind each initiative, and feeds on-the-ground insight, barriers and opportunities back into global planning.

The role is responsible for the delivery and success of membership strategy across its assigned Houses. Accountability for regional membership performance sits with the Regional Membership Director and their teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Localised: design and run toolboxes that reduce turnover among high-risk member groups across its assigned Houses, tracking and evolving these approaches as performance data emerges.

New Openings & Hypercare

• Apply the global opening framework to pre-opening acquisition and membership success planning for openings within its assigned Houses.
• Lead membership-side opening implementation and hypercare across its assigned Houses.
• Partner with pre-opening, marketing and House teams so that application, intake and early engagement targets are met at opening.
• Capture what worked and what did not at each opening and feed it back into the global opening playbook.

Data, Insight & Performance

• Track and report performance across its assigned Houses, spanning onboarding, engagement, retention, renewals, applications and intakes.
• Translate House-level data into clear, commercially focused recommendations for both local teams and global strategy.
• Partner with the Data Team on member segmentation and predictive churn models, ensuring local nuance is reflected.
• Present regional performance and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

Partnership & Cross-Functional Working
