Description

The Advancement division at Dartmouth is seeking a key partner to join our Alumni Engagement team!  Playing an integral role in supporting volunteer partnerships and leadership to alumni organizations, our Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement will collaborate with volunteer leadership boards, campus partners, committees, and task forces with one mission in mind: building connections with alumni.  

The Job: A natural relationship builder, you’ll collaborate with alumni leaders, campus partners, and Advancement colleagues to ensure consistent communication, strong volunteer management, and memorable events and reunions. You’ll oversee your own portfolio of regions and volunteers and provide the guidance, support, and inspiration that foster long-term connection, success, and fun.  You will play a key role in implementing strategies for regional engagement that connect Dartmouth alumni with each other and with the life of the College.

Your polished communication skills will shine as you work with alumni volunteers and organizations and serve as a bridge to campus partners like Athletics, Student Life, Admissions, the Hop, Irving, and more. We welcome creativity in developing fresh engagement opportunities that respond to the evolving interests of our growing alumni community. This is meaningful work that strengthens bonds, sparks pride, and advances Dartmouth’s mission. 

Requirements

You have a bachelor’s degree and at least three years of experience in a complex college or university development operation or the equivalent. You have volunteer management experience and have the ability to motivate and inspire volunteers. You take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and communications, and you thrive in fast-paced settings where flexibility, organization, and teamwork are essential. You love building relationships, finding new and creative ways to connect and engage people, and take pride in knowing your work contributes to an exceptional experience.  

Our technology suite currently includes Microsoft Office, Advance, email marketing tools, Jira, and Slack. If you bring us solid skills in the Microsoft Office suite that is part of our everyday work (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), we’ll teach you the rest of our software programs through a tailored onboarding plan. Most importantly, you’re excited to roll up your sleeves and join your Alumni Relations colleagues in doing their best work.
