The Nova Global Constellation Luminary

Part-Time, Community Leadership Role

The Nova Constellation Luminary Local Chapter Leader — Part-Time Community Leadership Role

What is a Constellation Luminary?

A Constellation Luminary is the local steward of The Nova in her city. You’re not building something from scratch — you’re stepping into an established model with real infrastructure behind it, so you can focus on what actually matters: showing up consistently, cultivating genuine connection, and making the women in your chapter feel like they’ve finally found their people.

Nova HQ handles the systems, templates, and frameworks. Your job is to bring the room to life.

About The Nova

The Nova Global is a membership community and leadership ecosystem for women founders, executives, and culture-shaping leaders. Through local in-person chapters, a global virtual community, and leadership development experiences, we create the conditions for real relationships to form — the kind that expand what women believe is possible for themselves and their work.

We call it permission through proximity. Your people are here.

What Makes Nova Different

Most professional communities for women were built on the same foundations as the spaces that came before them — performance-driven, achievement-focused, and quietly asking women to lead like someone else. Even the ones designed for women often reward hustle over depth, visibility over authenticity, and output over wholeness. They’re networking dressed up in a different outfit.

Nova was built from a different premise entirely. We believe women lead better, build better, and grow faster when they’re in rooms that encourage them to bring all of who they are — not just their credentials or their highlight reel. Depth is not a nice-to-have here. It’s the point. Real relationships, honest conversations, and the kind of support that actually moves the needle — that’s what Nova is designed to create.

When women stop performing for the room and start belonging to it, everything changes.

That’s what a Luminary makes possible in her city.

Where is The Nova Currently Expanding?

Our vision is a Nova chapter in every major city in the US and expanding internationally. We currently have active Constellations in Denver, Boulder, Phoenix, Greater NYC, NW Chicagoland, DMV, North Boston, East Bay, and Virginia Beach and we’re growing. Whether you’re launching a new chapter or stepping into one already formed, you’ll have full support from Nova HQ from day one.

We recommend a 2-month launch window followed by a 90-day ramp-up to get grounded in our tools, systems, and community rhythm.

Who We Serve

Nova is built for women who have already built something meaningful and are looking for a room that matches where they are and expands what’s possible from here — founders, executives, senior leaders, and culture-shapers who want their growth to be rooted in real relationships rather than performative networking. We call them “unboxed women”. They’re professionally ambitious and want success that doesn’t cost them their wellbeing, relationships, or sense of self. They’re done with spaces that ask them to shrink, compete, or leave parts of themselves at the door. They’re looking for depth, genuine connection, and a community that rises with them.

Who Makes a Great Constellation Luminary?

This role is ideal for someone who is a natural community builder with an established local network and genuine relationships already rooted in her city. She’s experienced in holding space for groups — whether through facilitation, leadership, or simply being the kind of person rooms naturally form around. She’s established in her own work or business, so she leads from a place of groundedness rather than hustle. She loves gathering people, values depth over performance, and feels energized by consistency and rhythm. She wants to contribute to something larger than herself and understands that the health of a room starts with the person holding it.

What Sets a Constellation Up for Success

Before a chapter launches, Nova home office, our founder Melissa and other luminaries work with you to put the right foundation in place. The Luminaries who thrive come in with a small leadership Council of three women already identified, one to two local partnerships secured for consistent event hosting, and a network ready to rally around a launch. From there, hosting two events a month on a predictable schedule for the full first year is what allows real community to form — relationships deepen when women know exactly when and where to show up.

The goal in the first few weeks after launch is to welcome ten founding members into the chapter. That number creates enough energy, diversity, and momentum for the room to truly come alive.

And you won’t be figuring any of it out alone. Before your first event, Nova HQ sets up all of your tech, your local chapter website, and your dedicated space inside Circle, our community platform. All automations are built and running before you launch. You’re connected to a sister chapter for ongoing peer support from a fellow Luminary who understands exactly what you’re navigating. A Member Concierge is available to support your members directly. And Nova runs the full virtual programming — Soul Calls, workshops, connection circles — so your members are plugged into a thriving global community from day one.

A team, a venue, a consistent rhythm, and a full support system behind you. That’s the formula.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

As a Luminary, your time commitment is approximately 10 ish hours per month and includes:

• Monthly In-Person Gatherings You’ll host two monthly events — Connect + Elevate, a signature Nova gathering focused on meaningful connection and visibility that blends guided conversation with a short curated feature from a member or guest, and Catalyst Circles, a business development-focused gathering designed to support clarity, collaboration, referrals, and forward momentum through facilitated conversation. As your chapter grows you may also host optional Community Adventures — walks, dinners, hikes, or other member-only experiences that deepen belonging beyond the structured events.
• Community Cultivation You’ll welcome new members and guests, create a warm and inclusive environment, and foster connection before, during, and after every gathering. Nova’s values show up through how the room feels, not how it performs.
• Local Partnerships With support from Nova HQ, you’ll maintain one or two aligned local partnerships — typically a coworking space or community venue and a local business, restaurant, or wellness space. We provide guidance so this feels relational rather than transactional.
• Your Council Each Constellation is supported by a small volunteer Council of two to three women who assist with event logistics, communication, and guest experience. You are not expected to carry this alone.
• Staying Connected to the Collective You’ll attend the monthly Luminary call on the first Wednesday of each month, complete a brief check-in beforehand, and share real feedback from your community so Nova continues to evolve intentionally.

What’s Already Built for You

Before you host your first event, Nova has already done the heavy lifting. As a Luminary you receive access to our:

• Simplified Luminary Playbook, which includes standardized monthly event formats with plug-and-play facilitation guides, clear monthly rhythms so you’re never guessing what’s next, marketing templates for emails and social posts, simple partnership guidance and outreach language, and full launch and ongoing support.

You bring the heart and presence. We hold the structure.

Compensation

This is a revenue-sharing leadership role, not a volunteer position. Luminaries earn a commission on membership revenue from members in their local Constellation — so as your chapter grows, your income grows with it. Annual memberships are commissioned at the same rate when received. Luminaries also earn additional commission for each member they personally refer into The Orbit, Nova’s leadership mastermind or other chapters.

Details of the revenue-sharing structure are shared during the application process.

What You Receive

As a Luminary you receive a complimentary Nova membership for the duration of your role, complimentary access to The Orbit mastermind, access to all virtual programming, workshops, and recordings, access to Nova retreats including the annual SuperNova gathering, leadership development and facilitation support, and visibility within a national values-driven network.

Support from Nova HQ

• You are not doing this alone. Nova HQ provides the Simplified Luminary Playbook,
• Event frameworks and facilitation support,
• Marketing templates and messaging guidance,
• Automated RSVP and follow-up systems, centralized tech through Circle and Go High Level,
• Member Concierge support,
• and ongoing leadership and strategic support throughout your term.
