What are the responsibilities and job description for the Association Executive position at Creative Marketing Alliance?
Lead. Grow. Inspire.
Are you an entrepreneurial self-starter who thrives on building relationships, leading with purpose, and driving results? CMA is looking for an Association Executive to join our Association Management group. A role designed for someone who wants to own their success and make a lasting impact on organizations that are shaping industries and communities.
At CMA, we partner with associations to strengthen their operations, grow membership, and amplify their missions. As an Association Executive, you’ll be the strategic leader and trusted advisor for a portfolio of associations, essentially, owning your own book of business. You’ll recognize and recommend opportunities for your clients’ growth, connect strategy to action, and lead cross-functional teams that bring ideas to life.
We’re looking for someone who embodies an entrepreneurial spirit —independent, sociable and self-motivated with a natural drive to make things happen. You’ll have the independence to manage your clients as the CEO, paired with the full support of a collaborative, innovative team that loves seeing bold ideas come to life. Precision and follow-through are key — accuracy, accountability, and attention to detail are what set you apart.
In this role, every day is different. One moment you’re advising a Board of Directors on strategy, the next you’re coordinating with internal experts to execute membership campaigns, plan events, or enhance digital engagement. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can combine big-picture thinking with hands-on leadership, all while helping associations reach new levels of success.
