ELEA Membership Director

Posted: 08/16/2026

Evangelical Lutheran Education Association (ELEA / ELCA Schools & Learning Centers)
Part-time, Remote (~20-25 hrs/week)

We are a small but mighty, fully remote team supporting school and congregation leaders across roughly 1,200 Lutheran schools and early learning centers nationwide. We show up for our members through resources, professional development, strategic partnerships, insurance services, consulting, coaching, and so much more — and we're looking for someone to support that work as our next Membership Director.

This role sits right at the center of our community. You'll be the person members hear from, the one keeping their records straight, and the one dreaming up better ways to welcome, support, and retain them. It's relationship-driven, detail-oriented work on a small team where what you do actually shows up — and there's real room to grow with us.

What you'll do

  • Manage membership renewals, applications, and payment follow-up, keeping records current and accurate
  • Lead recruitment, retention, and onboarding for new and returning members
  • Support conferences and events, and pitch in on member communications alongside our Communications Manager
  • Keep our schools database up to date and support the annual budget, fundraising, and board reporting

What you bring

  • 2+ years of administrative or membership-development experience — bonus points if it's with an ELCA congregation, synod, or organization
  • Comfort with CRM/AMS software, Canva, Google Workspace, and project management tools like Monday.com
  • A self-starter mindset — we're a small, decentralized team, so you'll need to be comfortable owning your work
  • A collaborative spirit and a genuine connection to ELEA's mission

The details

  • Part-time, about 20-25 hours/week, with a flexible daytime schedule (we work across 4 time zones)
  • Fully remote
  • Pay commensurate with skills and experience
  • Posted until filled
