Membership is one of the most important ways people connect with The Trustees and support our mission to protect and share Massachusetts' special places. As a seasonal Membership Engagement Associate, you will play a key role in growing that connection by engaging visitors where they experience our mission firsthand, at membership tables at key reservations and events across the Commonwealth during our busiest season.

As a visible ambassador for The Trustees, you will help visitors discover the value of membership and inspire them to become part of a community that supports conservation, public access, and cultural experiences throughout Massachusetts. Through friendly, in-person conversation, you will contribute directly to membership growth and help ensure more people can connect with and support the places they love.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Membership, the seasonal Membership Engagement Associate serves as a field-based representative of The Trustees' membership program. This is a table- and event-based role focused on direct membership sales at key properties and events across the state.

Working independently at assigned sites, you will engage visitors in conversation about the value of membership, process on-site membership sales, and represent The Trustees with warmth and professionalism at properties and events throughout the season.

Specifically, you'll be responsible for:

Membership Sales & Visitor Engagement

• Staff membership tables and pop-up booths at assigned Trustees properties and events throughout Massachusetts.
• Engage visitors in meaningful conversation about the impact and benefits of membership, tailoring messaging to individual interests.
• Drive new membership sign-ups and upgrades at your assigned location(s), working toward seasonal and event-level sales goals.
• Accurately process membership transactions and ensure data is collected and recorded appropriately.
• Serve as a welcoming and knowledgeable ambassador for The Trustees, delivering exceptional visitor experiences.

Property & Event Support

• Set up, maintain, and break down an attractive, well-stocked membership table or booth, including signage and member materials.
• Coordinate with property staff and event organizers on logistics, scheduling, and site-specific needs.
• Travel between properties and events as needed based on the seasonal staffing calendar.

This is a seasonal, temporary, non-exempt position (July through September) reporting directly to the Senior Director of Membership.
