A Stage Unlike Any Other
In 1863, a group of artists, writers, and free thinkers gathered with a shared conviction: that the finest conversation, the boldest ideas, and the warmest hospitality belonged together under one roof. Charles Dickens dined here. Whistler argued here. Rodin was inspired here.
The Arts Club was born not as a venue, but as a living expression of creative life — and it has never stopped.
At the heart of that life today are the people and spaces that bring our club to life every day. This is more than an operation — it is an environment where members connect, create, and return time and time again because something about it feels truly special.
It takes an exceptional person to be part of that.
That person might be you.
Membership & Cultural Programming Executive
We're looking for a Membership & Cultural Programming Executive to support both the end-to-end membership application process and the delivery of our fast-growing cultural programme.
This is a hybrid operational and creative role: you'll manage the compliance, due diligence and member-facing rigour that underpins our membership base, while also providing the coordination and systems discipline that keeps our talks, podcasts and events running seamlessly — with scope to curate standalone programming moments of your own over time.
Key Responsibilities
Membership Application Management
- Generate qualified leads, issue application forms, and manage applicant inquiries via the shared inbox
- Conduct due diligence on applications (proposer/seconder letters, OFSI checks, regulatory compliance)
- Maintain accurate records, follow up on incomplete applications, and prepare files for committee review
- Flag priority applicants and identify attempts to exploit membership loopholes; process primary club swaps
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
