Acre is pleased to be partnering with Alupro (Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation) in hiring a Membership Manager.

 

Alupro is an industry-funded, non-profit organisation with over 30 years of experience representing the UK's aluminium packaging industry. They partner with local authorities, the waste management industry and the metal packaging sector to develop the UK collection infrastructure in a bid to drive circularity.

 

They are seeking a Membership Manager to manage current members and create new partnerships with organisations using aluminium in their products.

 

 

In this role, you will

• Identify, research, and actively pursue potential Alupro members and sponsors across various sectors within the aluminium packaging value chain.
• Develop and implement a structured outreach strategy targeting both high-value, low-volume prospects (e.g., large beverage brands, beauty and cosmetics companies) and high-volume, low-value prospects (e.g., aluminium scrap recyclers and exporters).
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, leveraging networking opportunities at industry events and conferences to secure new memberships and sponsorships.
• Streamline and modernise the membership sign-up process to ensure ease of access and efficiency for prospective members.
• Provide ongoing support to current members, ensuring high levels of engagement, retention, and satisfaction. This will include regular meetings with each member and coordinating training for management or sales staff.

 

Alupro is looking for a self-motivated individual with the ability to identify and pursue potential members and sponsors independently.

 

 

As the ideal candidate, you will have

• A proven track record of securing new members, clients, or sponsors, preferably within a not-for-profit or industry association environment.
• Demonstrated ability to drive revenue growth through membership engagement, business development, or fundraising efforts.
• Strong networking and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior decision-makers.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with experience leading initiatives such as digital platform development or membership engagement projects.

 

This role is hybrid with monthly travel to our head office in Redditch and occasional travel for meetings and conferences.

If you're looking for an exciting opportunity to play a key role in promoting circularity across the metal packaging value chain and have a successful track record in similar organisations, please apply directly or reach out to Lawrence Hallett at lawrence.hallett@acre.com for more information.

Are you ready to shape the digital future of sustainable forestry?

 

Acre is partnering with FSC Investments & Partnerships (FSC I&P) who are seeking a visionary Deputy Executive Director of Technology and Partnerships to lead the transformation of forest management and certification across a global network. 

 

About FSC and FSC Investments & Partnerships

In the early 1990s, an international group of leaders in business, human rights and the environment came together to develop standards for managing forests. These visionaries were responding to the many dire threats to the world’s forests and established the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

 

 

FSC certification tells you that the products that come from forests have been responsibly managed according to a robust set of guidelines benefiting the environment and society.

 

 

While FSC is known for certifying what comes from forests worldwide, FSC is focusing on emerging certification systems for ecosystem services.

 

 

FSC I&P is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 2016 with a commitment to amplify responsible forest management and innovation. FSC I&P collaborates with FSC offices around the world and the International Secretariat in Bonn, Germany, to deliver on its common mission.

You’ll be a trusted advisor and leader, managing a team of direct reports and collaborating across the FSC system to deliver high-impact digital initiatives. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on global sustainability, combining your expertise in emerging technologies, digital road mapping, and business development.

 

 

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and execution of innovative technology strategies aligned with FSC’s mission and objectives.
• Build and nurture strategic partnerships with technology providers, sponsors, and stakeholders.
• Oversee the successful delivery of digital transformation projects, ensuring alignment with FSC’s vision.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, agile methodologies, and adaptive change management.
• Represent FSC I&P in global forums, building relationships and driving engagement with the wider sustainability and technology ecosystem.
• Manage and develop a high-performing team, fostering collaboration and professional growth.

 

 

About You

• Proven leadership in digital transformation, technology partnerships, and platform innovation.
• Deep understanding of enterprise technology, data-rich IT infrastructure, and R&D.
• Strong track record in business development, fundraising, and strategic relationship management.
• Experience with agile project management, solution design, and stakeholder engagement.
• Passion for sustainability, forestry, and making a global impact through technology.

 

 

Why Join FSC I&P?

• Be at the forefront of digital innovation in sustainability and responsible forestry.
• Collaborate with world-class experts and global partners.
• Enjoy a dynamic, mission-driven environment where your ideas drive real-world change.
