Communications and Alumni Relations Manager
The Communications and Alumni Relations Manager is an essential member of the Development Office team. The Office is responsible for a wide range of events and other alumni relations activity, as well as for fundraising to support the aims of the College. The College will be launching a major fundraising campaign and celebration for the College’s 50th Anniversary.
The aim of the College’s communications and alumni activity is to develop a strong and supportive community of alumni, friends and current members, who will support and advance the College’s objectives through donations, goodwill, influence, contacts and advice. Events, publications and communications form a key part of the contact with alumni and other stakeholders. The integration of the alumni relations and fundraising activities of the office is very important to its continued success.
The Communications and Alumni Relations Manager will be expected to build an excellent working relationship with staff in other College departments, the Warden, Fellows and students within the College, alumni around the world, Cambridge in America, and the University’s Development and Alumni Relations Office. They will be required to work independently, but within a collaborative team-oriented framework.
The post holder will also be responsible for contributing to the strategic development and implementation of the College’s donor stewardship programme, ensuring that donors feel valued and continue to support the College. As a key part of this role, the post holder will oversee the Development Office’s alumni and supporter communications programme in all formats. You will work closely with the Development Office team to develop and deliver events for alumni and supporters across the year, and with academics and current students alike, to translate complex research and experience-led stories into engaging and accessible content available to use for events, reports and alumni and donor communications.
We are looking for an outstanding communicator with experience of building and developing relationships through compelling communications, exceptional events and other engagement opportunities. This role would suit candidates with relevant experience of working in a communications, engagement or fundraising environment.
