Role: Membership Growth Lead @ Generalist World

Type: Contract, Freelance.

Hours: 10hours per week

Remote from anywhere

👋 Hi, I'm Milly, founder of Generalist World, a global community for people who are brilliant at many things, not just one. 65,000+ people read our newsletter every week, with hundreds of thousands more across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

I'm looking for a Membership Growth Lead to own the growth our paid membership: acquisition, conversion, retention, and the email systems, pipeline, and automation underneath it.

The rest of the team covers content, events, and community. You're the person who generates interest, turns it into paid members, and keeps that number growing month after month. If you know how to turn an audience into a membership, and you build the systems that make it repeatable, keep reading.

Right now I run the entire sales cycle fairly manually, it’s been a fantastic way to get to know our people but there’s no great system yet. Building one is the core objective of this role.

About Generalist World

Generalist World is the home for people who never fit in one box, who got told to "just pick a lane," and found their people with us instead. Alongside the newsletter we run a paid membership, a jobs board, and events around the world. We're a small, fast-moving, fully remote team of 4 that cares a great deal about the work we do and the people we help. You'd report directly to me.

What you'll own

You own everything from "someone discovers Generalist World" to "they've joined as a member." Our team runs the community once people are in, so you stay focused on filling the pipeline and converting best-fit people.

1. New members (the core of the role).

Turn our 65,000 readers into paying members, month after month.

• Work our warmest leads first: engaged readers, waitlists, event attendees, and people already in our orbit.
• Run personalised, well-researched outreach across email, DM, and calls. Always human and on-brand (very important to me!)
• Hold real conversations, surface fit, and close, while protecting who gets in.

2. The system (you build it, and then run it).
