Historic Philadelphia private club managing 4,000+ members and event operations
The Union League operates as a members-only club with 4,000+ constituents across dining, fitness, events, and advancement functions. The tech stack is predominantly Microsoft-based (Office 365, Windows) with SevenRooms and MindBody for hospitality operations, now adopting Salesforce and DocuWare — suggesting a shift toward more formal CRM and document management as the organization scales its fundraising and event logistics. Hiring leans heavily operational (mostly junior roles in ops and banquets), and active projects center on ballroom construction, food cost control, and accounting process improvements.
