Director of Membership

Director Of Membership

A spectacular blend of Golden Era glamour and modern luxury, Fontainebleau today reinvents the original vision of legendary architect Morris Lapidus - a stage where everyone plays their unique part. At Fontainebleau, striking design, contemporary art, music, fashion and technology merge into a vibrant new kind of guest experience. Guests are invited to enter a world where they are free to play, shop, dine, spa, meet or simply relax - however they define a perfect day.

Situated on oceanfront Collins Avenue in the heart of Millionaire's Row, Fontainebleau Miami Beach is one of the most historically and architecturally significant hotels on Miami Beach. Opened in 1954 and designed by Morris Lapidus, it was the most luxurious hotel on Miami Beach, and is thought to be the most significant building of Lapidus' career.

The Director of Membership is responsible for building and leading Bleau Legacy, Fontainebleau Miami Beach's private family membership club, from pre-opening sales through a full member roster. This role reports to the Managing Director and leads one direct report, the Membership Sales Manager. The Director owns the member experience end to end: selling memberships, onboarding families, keeping them engaged, and renewing them year after year.

Bleau Legacy gives members the resort's pools, beach, dining, spa and programming with the attention of a private club, plus experiences built for every generation of the family. Because the club is intimate, the Director knows every family by name, from the parents and kids to the grandparents, their birthdays and their preferences; the role is as much a host as it is a sales leader.

The Director is in seat before membership sales begin in January 2027, ahead of the club's opening in April 2027.
