Development and Alumni Coordinator

The role supports the delivery of a high-quality programme of development, donor stewardship and alumni engagement events, helping to strengthen relationships with the School's supporters and wider community. A key focus will be coordinating meetings and events for the School's International Advisory Board and Dean's Circle, alongside donor visits, roundtables and other engagement opportunities that showcase the School's research, teaching, students and global impact.

Working closely with development, alumni relations and communications colleagues, you will coordinate event planning, invitations, attendee communications and logistical arrangements, ensuring a professional and welcoming experience for participants. You will also support a programme of national and international alumni events marking the School's 15th anniversary in 2027, as well as the annual graduation celebration.

The role also involves maintaining accurate event and engagement records, supporting event evaluation and assisting with prospect identification activities, while ensuring information is handled appropriately and confidentially.

Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; generating research with impact; and engaging with governments and practitioners.

You will have experience of coordinating events from initial planning through to delivery and evaluation, including managing invitations, registrations and attendee communications. Excellent organisational skills, exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage several activities simultaneously will be essential, alongside a commitment to delivering a high-quality service.

You will bring strong interpersonal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage professionally with senior colleagues, alumni, donors and external stakeholders. You will also have strong IT skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office, and demonstrate discretion and sound judgement when handling confidential information.
