The Team

The Membership team sits within the wider Strategy and Commercial Group in NMIS. While the Membership team is small – with just one other person beside this role – it sits within a cooperative and engaged Commercial Group with responsibility for business development, bid-writing, communications and marketing, and engagement with small businesses.

The Challenge

As part of NMIS’s offer to industry and to create supportive, collaborative relationships with our industry partners, NMIS runs a membership model. We currently have over 100 members, who contribute either in-kind or cash, and in return, NMIS provides information, events and the opportunity to participate in collaborative programmes. We are in the process of maturing this offer to ensure it is clear to prospective members, that we encourage more members, and we ensure the relationships we develop are productive and mutually beneficial. This new appointment will support this effort.

Why join us?

This is an exciting time to join NMIS and the Membership team. On the back of a new Strategy and Business Plan, NMIS is due to grow considerably over the next few years, and our Members and our Membership offering will be at the heart of this journey. If you are interested in being at the heart of this journey, this is an excellent time and opportunity to join NMIS.
