Alumni and Events Manager

You will be a key member of the Fundraising Committee. This role involves recruiting, nurturing and managing a team of associates from the pool to assist you in the delivery of your objectives, as well as working with volunteers from other committees, such as the Comms Manager. The Fundraising Committee was established in autumn 2017; you will shape its continued growth and development. 

The aim of the Manager is to keep our alumni involved and stay in contact with them, and to use the skills and knowledge they have to offer to improve our charity and to encourage them to become donors.  The role includes designing events from the casual (pub quiz) to the elegant (gala dinner), managing the alumni newsletter, and organising the annual alumni dinner, and maintaining our alumni mentoring scheme. You’ll make close ties with the wonderful bunch of professionals that came out of EPAfrica and develop skills to keep a vibrant network growing.
