School/Department: Campaigns & Alumni Relations

Work Arrangement: Full Time (Hybrid)

Contract Type: Fixed-term

Salary per annum (£): £32,080.00 - 36,636.00

The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.

We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.

Overview

Are you a natural communicator with a passion for project management?

We’re looking for an engaging, highly organised Community Engagement Officer to join our Alumni Relations team. You will be a central link connecting our global community of 300,000 former students back to the heart of the University, creating diverse opportunities for alumni to share their time, influence, and expertise.

Your mission is to create meaningful ways for our alumni to give back their time to support the University's strategic goals. From facilitating career-shaping connections for current students to sourcing the inspirational stories that attract prospective applicants, you will identify and steward the next generation of supporters through high-touch volunteering experiences.

You’ll be the go-to person for our volunteers, nurturing relationships and designing creative new ways for them to share their talents. You’ll also advise colleagues across the University on engagement best practices, enhancing how we value and recognise our alumni community. If you’re an excellent communicator who thrives on project management and believes in the power of community to drive impact, we want to hear from you.

Main duties and responsibilities

Project Development and Management

Project-manage a diverse calendar of volunteering activities, from webinars and alumni speaker panels to in-person networking events and business visits.
Proactively develop new initiatives that bring our community together, which includes occasional travel across the UK and hosting evening events to engage with our alumni where they are.

Strategic Internal Partnership

Act as a dedicated partner to teams across the university, including our Careers and Employability Service, Global Engagement, Marketing and Student Recruitment teams. You’ll share your expertise in volunteer management to help them design and deliver bespoke initiatives that bring alumni insights directly to their students and prospective students.
Provide guidance to departments on the "gold standard" of volunteer engagement. You’ll ensure that all activities are inclusive and well-structured, so that every alum has a high-quality experience while supporting student success.

Use our CRM (Raiser’s Edge), social media, and digital platforms to find the right volunteers for specific departmental needs. You’ll ensure our outreach is strategic and coordinated, protecting our alumni from "ask fatigue" while maximising their impact.

Volunteer Care & Recognition

Manage the end-to-end experience for our volunteers, from their first expression of interest to the completion of their role. You will ensure every volunteer feels genuinely valued and recognised through our appreciation strategies.

Collaborative Impact

Partner with the Fundraising team to identify high-profile volunteers and work with the International team to create meaningful opportunities for our networks across the globe.
Collaborate with the Communications team to promote opportunities via a range of channels, ensuring we reach a diverse range of alumni.
