Head of Memberships

Florence Guild is proud to unveil its most anticipated venture to date: The Sandstones Clubby Florence Guild - a distinguished private members club housed within The Lands by Capella, at the heart of Sydney's landmark Sandstone Precinct.

Located in the heritage-listed Department of Lands building, one of Sydney's most iconic architectural treasures, The Sandstones Club sets a new benchmark for private clubs in Australia. Surrounded by world-class dining, cultural institutions, and directly connected to the city's transport network, this is a place where privacy meets prestige, and where thoughtful design creates space for meaningful exchange.

The Sandstones Club will be home to a discreet, exclusive community of leaders, creatives, and cultural influencers. With programming that includes intimate private events and Florence Guild's signature speaker series known as Florence Guild Presents, the club's mission is to reimagine the future of work and community—bringing together individuals who are united not by industry, but by intent.

We are seeking a highly driven, strategic and culturally attuned Head of Memberships (Business Development Sales Manager) to lead membership acquisition and community curation for The Sandstones Club. This is a pivotal role responsible for shaping the fabric of the club's founding member base, and for establishing a pipeline of influential individuals aligned with the club's values and ambitions.

You'll be the face and force behind our membership growth—blending refined sales instincts, an appreciation for discretion, and a deep understanding of cultural capital. This role sits at the intersection of business development, relationship management, and brand storytelling. The ideal candidate is not only commercially minded but also deeply passionate about people, connection and cultivating spaces where ideas thrive

Key Responsibilities

• Membership Acquisition & Growth - lead the strategy and execution for acquiring founding and ongoing members, including identifying, engaging, and converting high-calibre individuals into the community.
• Network & Community Curation - develop and maintain relationships with key connectors, tastemakers, and aligned organisations to build a robust referral ecosystem.
• Sales Pipeline Management - design and manage a high-touch membership sales funnel, from prospecting and qualification through to onboarding and long-term engagement.
• Brand Representation - act as an ambassador for The Sandstones Club by Florence Guild, articulating the vision, value, and experience of the club to prospective members, stakeholders, and partners.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, membership, or client-facing sales - preferably in luxury, hospitality, private clubs or lifestyle brands.
• Not just experience, but a valuable network—ideally with ties to luxury brands, lifestyle leaders, or high-net-worth individuals.
• A rare blend of commercial acumen and emotional intelligence—someone who can sell with subtlety and lead with integrity.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with a natural ability to build trust and rapport.
• A deep appreciation for quality, discretion, and intentional community-building.
• Comfort operating in a launch-phase environment, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset, strategic agility, and a proactive, hands-on approach to building from the ground up.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to play a founding role in one of Sydney's most exciting new ventures.
• A stunning work environment inside one of the city's most architecturally significant buildings.
• Access to a rare and influential network through Florence Guild's extended community.
• A culture grounded in excellence, elegance, and purpose.
