Membership Director

Are You the Connector Bend Has Been Waiting For? There is a movement building in the Oregon business community, one where faith and commerce are no longer separate worlds. The Oregon Christian Chamber of Commerce is bringing together entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners who believe their work is a calling, not just a career. We are looking for the person who will put a face to that mission: someone who opens doors, builds trust, and turns conversations into community. This is not a desk job. This is not a quiet position. This is a role for someone who wakes up energized by the idea of connecting people to something bigger than themselves, and who has the sales track record to prove they can make it happen.

About the Role

The ideal candidate is a highly motivated, energetic, and ambitious professional with a proven track record of sales built through genuine connections and meaningful relationships in the community. You are ambitious, service-led, confident, well-spoken, and you thrive in an innovative, startup work environment that values both faith and results. You are equally comfortable cold-calling a prospect and delivering a talk at a networking event by being authentically yourself. You will consistently add new members, not by using old-school hard closing sales techniques, but by delivering compelling, heartfelt invitations and helping people make decisions to better their business along with their Kingdom impact.

As Membership Director, you are the face of the Oregon Christian Chamber. Every conversation you have is a chance to grow the community. Every relationship you build is a living example of what this chamber stands for.

Responsibilities

• Grow chamber membership through active prospecting, community presence, and relationship-based sales
• Serve as the primary point of contact and ambassador for the Oregon Christian Chamber in Bend and across Oregon
• Attend, host, and represent the Chamber at member events, community gatherings, and networking opportunities
• Develop and maintain genuine, long-term relationships with current members to support retention and renewals
• Collaborate with the Director of Marketing on outreach campaigns and the Director of Administration on member onboarding
• Track your pipeline, report on progress, and consistently hit monthly member acquisition targets
• Represent the chamber's values of faith, integrity, excellence, and service in every interaction

Requirements

• 5+ years of proven sales experience with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets
• Experience building membership communities, client bases, or professional networks
• Proven ability to work independently, manage your own schedule, and self-motivate
• Exceptional communication skills - verbal, written, and in person
• A genuine relationship-builder who sells through trust, not tactics
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment where you help shape the culture
• Alignment with Christian values and enthusiasm for the chamber's faith-integrated mission
• Based in or willing to relocate to Bend, Oregon
