The Opportunity
World 50 Group is seeking an energized leader in relationship building to curate, build and lead an elite peer community of senior, functional executives from the world's leading businesses. Each membership community is led by a Group Leader dedicated to strategically connecting, advising and supporting a community of executives representing the top in their fields. You will be responsible for curating an elite program that adds value to our members and their businesses.
Key Responsibilities
The Group Leader will be responsible for building the membership, expertly managing relationships to understand member needs, liaising to initiate and facilitate connections amongst members, and leading program creation and execution. You must collaborate closely with the group's Member Services Associate to enrich the overall member experience. A key to your success will be getting to know members at events and virtually via group video calls and one-on-one phone calls. You will listen and understand the issues that keep them up at night. In addition, you will maintain an active "online" community within the membership that consists of members asking and answering questions, connecting directly with each other, and collaborating through our World 50 App.

The ideal individual is able to interact as an equal to C-level executives without interjecting themselves as "the authority."
