ELEA Seeks Part-Time Membership Director
The Evangelical Lutheran Education Association (ELEA / ELCA Schools & Learning Centers) is seeking a part-time Membership Director to support its nationwide community of approximately 1,200 Lutheran schools and early learning centers. The position is fully remote, approximately 20–25 hours per week, with a flexible daytime schedule, and will remain open until filled.
The Membership Director will serve at the center of ELEA’s relationships with its members, overseeing membership renewals, applications, recruitment, retention and onboarding while maintaining accurate membership and school records. The role also supports conferences and events, member communications, fundraising, budgeting and board reporting.
ELEA is a small, fully remote team that equips Lutheran education leaders through professional development, faith formation, resources, strategic partnerships, consulting, coaching and other services. The Membership Director will help strengthen that community and ensure schools and learning centers remain connected to the resources and relationships that support their ministries.
Candidates should have at least two years of administrative or membership-development experience; experience with an ELCA congregation, synod or organization is particularly relevant. ELEA is also seeking someone comfortable working independently on a decentralized team and experienced with CRM or association management systems, Canva, Google Workspace and project management tools such as Monday.com.
Additional responsibilities include supporting ELEA conferences, maintaining its schools database, coordinating employee benefits participation records, assisting with bookkeeping and the annual budget process, supporting fundraising and donor tracking, and preparing membership reports for the Executive Director and board. Some conference and event travel and semi-annual in-person board meetings are expected.
The position is fully remote and pays commensurate with skills and experience. Because ELEA works across four time zones, some schedule flexibility is necessary.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest, resume and salary requirements to info@elcaschools.org. The position is posted until filled.
