COMPANY OVERVIEW
Conway Data is the contract association manager for the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC).
IAMC is the premiere manufacturing and industrial real estate trade association for professionals in the U.S. and abroad. Using a personable and forward-thinking approach, IAMC facilitates the best networking, knowledge sharing and professional development opportunities for its members. Through these channels, IAMC members are better able to create value for their respective companies, shaping the future of the industry.
POSITION OVERVIEW
IAMC is seeking a results-driven, relationship-first Director of Member Engagement to lead our member retention and engagement strategy. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who is energized by building genuine connections, moves with urgency and intention, and thrives as part of a collaborative team working toward shared goals.
The Director of Member Engagement owns the member experience from onboarding through long-term retention. This person proactively identifies opportunities to deepen member relationships, drives participation across IAMC programs and committees, and partners closely across the IAMC staff team to ensure every touchpoint reinforces the value of IAMC membership.
A critical distinction of this role: IAMC’s “Corporate” members are the anchors of the organization and must receive primary focus in all engagement and retention efforts.

- Lead and execute the Ambassador Program for bi-annual IAMC Forums, driving strong member participation and a welcoming experience.
