Alumni Events Officer

at  Clare College Cambridge

This is an opportunity for an energetic and ambitious alumni relations professional to join a high-performing team as Clare College plans for its 700th anniversary in 2026 and works towards exceptional and sector-leading alumni engagement.
The Alumni Events Officer plays a critical role in building mutual beneficial, lifelong relationships with alumni and supporters. The role has particular responsibility for an extensive programme of events (UK and overseas, in-person and hybrid) to engage, cultivate and thank alumni.
The success of the Development Office depends on the flexibility and ethos of its staff. The role holder will be required to participate in activities outside the core job description that are important to the overall development programme and the College. The role requires some travel in the UK (and potentially overseas), and regular work in the evenings and at weekends.
You will have excellent organisational skills and be proficient in Microsoft Office. You will have the ability to work on own initiative using tact and as part of a team.
