Senior Director, Membership Growth & Lifecycle

The Senior Director, Membership Growth & Lifecycle will lead the development and execution of an enterprise-wide strategy to strengthen the health, engagement, growth, and long-term value of our vacation ownership member base.

This leader will develop a deep understanding of our owners—who they are, how they experience ownership, what drives engagement and loyalty, where friction exists, and what causes owners to deepen or disengage from their relationship with us. They will combine vacation ownership industry expertise, customer insight, and rigorous analytics to identify the highest-impact opportunities to improve the owner experience and sustainably grow a healthy ownership base.

This leader will also serve as an enterprise strategic partner, translating company priorities and owner economics into clear recommendations, investment priorities, and coordinated initiatives that drive measurable business outcomes.

The role sits at the intersection of strategy, analytics, customer experience, and enterprise transformation. Success will require working across Sales & Marketing, Club, Resort Operations, Revenue Management, Finance, Technology, Consumer Finance, and other functions to establish a shared fact base, align leaders around priorities, and translate insights into coordinated action.

The ideal candidate brings a management consulting mindset: intellectually curious, analytically rigorous, highly structured, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to influence senior leaders without relying on formal authority.
