The Advancement division at Dartmouth is seeking a key partner to join our Alumni Engagement team. Our Program Manager for Alumni Engagement (and newest member of our mighty Alumni Relations team!), will play an important role in planning and executing engagement efforts for regional, interest, and class-based alumni groups, including one of our most exciting events – reunions!

We welcome creativity in 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.

Our technology suite currently includes Microsoft Office, Advance, email marketing tools, Jira, and Slack.
