Job description

Up World is a community where marketers gain the confidence, support, and tools they need to smash their careers.

We have over 1,100 paying members, an annual green field festival, and an exclusive supper club including CMOs from the UK's top companies.

About Up World

Up World is a friendly space for ambitious marketers who want to achieve big things and help others do the same.

Up Club provides exclusive access to industry leaders, expert mentorship, and world-class training to sharpen your skills and to stay ahead.

Big Up Club is an invite-only community designed for start-up Marketing Directors, Heads of Marketing, and CMOs to learn, grow, and thrive from the best UK marketing minds.

We launched the community last February to a very selective group and have managed new members carefully since then.

The Marketing Accelerator is a 12-week programme meticulously designed for mid-level marketers to grow leadership skills, marketing ability and ultimately to accelerate their careers.

UpFest is the UK's only greenfield marketing festival - think of it as Glasto for marketers Each year we invite our members to a farm to share their knowledge.

Netflix exciting names?

We are really ambitious.

Our vision is to have lively, buzzing communities in cities all across the UK and the world, and to continue to create a service so useful that our members simply can't do their jobs without it.

Sure, we're not saving the world, but we have seen the amazing impact our work has.

We create a space that's desperately needed for individuals who, without us, don't have any structured personal development, can't reach their full potential, and often find professional life very lonely.

The role - Community Executive

In a nutshell, this role is all about keeping our Up Club members happy and everything needed to provide them with an exceptional experience.

This means you'll play a crucial role in understanding what our members need so we can over-deliver our product promise.

You will be integral to engaging and building relationships with our members, so that you can act as the bridge between our members and the rest of the business.

You will be there to assist and identify opportunities for improvement (we never stop thinking about how we can make things better) at every touch point with our members; onboarding, online and IRL events, courses, mentoring and more.

You will also play a key role in our courses & training offerings.
