2 posts: Head of Alumni & Supporter Relations (Regions) and Head of Alumni & Supporter Relations (Faculties & Programmes)

As our new Heads of Alumni & Supporter Relations, you will lead a talented, creative and fun team that works with our 430,000+ alumni in 190 countries, to keep them engaged and active within our global community. You will be responsible for the delivery of gold-standard alumni engagement programmes and experiences, thinking through how UCL shows up for our alumni, and how alumni can show up for UCL.
As the Head of Alumni & Supporter Relations (Faculty & Programmes), you will lead a team to work across the Faculties at UCL, developing innovative and inspiring programmes to showcase the research and teaching power of the university. You will also drive our honorary, graduation milestones, parents and newly revamped volunteering programmes, drawing our community closer.
As the Head of Alumni & Supporter Relations (Regions), you will lead a team that will be our eyes and ears on the ground in the community, wherever they are based. You will help to deliver the activity that the Faculty & Programmes team devise and gain insights and feedback to help inform future programming. You and your team will also work closely with our fundraisers, developing strategies and tactics to encourage philanthropy in support of UCL.

These roles will require highly collaborative community engagement specialists, with experience of working with and getting the best out of volunteers and key stakeholders. The strength you bring in building relationships, and your highly developed interpersonal skills and entrepreneurial spirit will underpin your success. There are opportunities to build new programmes and initiatives, and it will be important that you are energised by the idea of this and the opportunity to travel and represent UCL as a brand ambassador.

Since our founding, we have always done things differently. Our diverse and global community of world-class academics, staff, students and alumni have the freedom and courage to challenge, question and think differently. We continuously break boundaries and develop solutions to real world problems.
In 2020, we closed one of the most successful fundraising campaigns in the UK's higher education sector, which raised £624M and galvanised our community. We have undertaken a strategic review of our programmes and are designing a roadmap for what's next. We are investing significantly in our team and have created 2 new roles to lead key alumni engagement initiatives at UCL. This is an incredibly exciting time as we plan for UCL's biggest ever fundraising and engagement campaign, launching in our bicentenary year, 2026.
