Alumni Engagement Associate, School of Clinical Medicine (Fixed Term)

We are looking for a self-driven candidate to join our Alumni Engagement team as our Alumni Engagement Associate. This position presents an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in designing multi-platform communications, driving strategic projects with strong project management abilities.

In this role, you will have the chance to work both independently and alongside team members within Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations (CUDAR), as well as the School of Clinical Medicine and the wider University community. Your primary goal will be to develop and initiate a comprehensive engagement program with a particular focus on the upcoming 50th anniversary of the School in 2026. This will include local, national, international, and online activities, as well as communications materials to promote the work of the School to alumni and other supporters.

Through strategic management of these engagement opportunities, you will aim to enhance alumni involvement, reinforce existing relationships, and encourage alumni to contribute to the School through volunteering and philanthropic channels, ultimately adding value and supporting the School's strategic priorities.

The Alumni Engagement team is accountable for increasing the breadth and depth of engagement with the University's community of over 300,000 ambassadors, advocates and supporters who are critical to the delivery of our strategic goals and the University of Cambridge's significant potential.

It's an exciting time to join our office as we build upon our recently completed £2B "Dear World, Yours Cambridge" fundraising campaign. The momentum created by the campaign is unique and we are investing in the team that will continue to build on our success and take us into the future. Our Development and Alumni Relations office is a friendly, collaborative and inclusive place to work.

This role is based in central Cambridge. We practise a hybrid working model and the successful candidate will be expected to be in the office for a minimum of two days a week.

Do you have experience working in membership coordination or with senior volunteer boards? Perhaps you've previously worked in events or produced communications for focused groups or communities. If you are looking to use your project management skills to pivot into a new career in Higher Education, we would absolutely love to hear from you.
