CMAE Salary & Benchmarking Survey – Now Open

As the financial year draws to a close for many clubs, planning for 2026 begins. To support this, CMAE is launching its third annual Salary & Benchmarking Survey, providing essential, up-to-date data to help guide your decisions.

CEO Torbjörn “Toby” Johansson shares:
“We recognise the growing need for solid data to support both club-wide and personal decision-making. Benchmarking across clubs, countries, and individuals is more important than ever. Your input helps strengthen our educational programmes and support across the CMAE community. We’re grateful for the strong backing of our Regions and Alliance Partners in this initiative.”

This survey, delivered in partnership with our Premier Corporate Partners Club Benchmarking (CB) EMEA, is led by industry experts John McCormack CCM and James Burns CCM. Together, they’ll compile a comprehensive report—free to all participants—that you can use to compare, plan, and negotiate with confidence.

Confidentiality Guaranteed
To ensure confidentiality, CB EMEA applies strict data security protocols. All responses are anonymised, aggregated, and free of any identifiable information.

Key points:
