Job Description:

The Alumni Project Co-Ordinator will work alongside the Alumni Network Engagement Manager to support the development of a sustainable alumni programme. Working with Sales and other internal stakeholders, the Alumni Project Co-Ordinator will contact individuals who have been through the FDM Programme to create a network of influential stakeholders. A positive alumni network enhances our brand and plays a key role in driving sales and developing future talent pipelines, both internally and for experienced consultants.

We aim to establish the FDM alumni brand with various stakeholders. For current consultants, awareness is needed before they leave; for alumni maintaining relationships, the network will centralize activity; and for potential future engagement, the network will create opportunities. The Alumni Project Co-Ordinator will collaborate with internal departments (Sales, Marketing, Recruitment, Skills Lab, People Team) to ensure the network is recognized as a vital part of the FDM journey. The goal is to strengthen partnerships between alumni, FDM, and clients.

This role is ideal for someone interested in developing commercial skills, understanding business development, employer branding, and organizing events.

• Assist in creating a programme of events to encourage alumni participation, including workshops, round tables, think tanks, and facilitating these events.
• Maintain an alumni database compliant with GDPR, providing relevant data on the alumni community.
• Provide the Sales team with updated information on alumni and client activity to support sales strategies.
• Manage the FDM alumni network group on LinkedIn and other social media platforms.
• Collaborate with the Marketing team to create targeted alumni campaigns and track their impact.
• Create alumni success stories with the Marketing team.
• Share alumni stories with university partners to support long-term career benefits of the Graduate Programme.
• Write blogs and newsletters to promote the network.
• Utilize technology to capture alumni data and generate reports.
