Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience and the South London & Maudsley NHS Trust.
We are entering an exciting period as a team. Our work is identified as a key enabler of the new King’s Strategy 2030, with associated ambitions that include preparing for our next major philanthropic and engagement campaign. This will accelerate and energise our work in support of the University’s mission to be ‘in service to society through academic excellence’ – be that through exceptional, impact-led research; ensuring our students are supported to thrive during their time at King’s and beyond; or by helping the university to invest over the long-term into its people, ideas and infrastructure. We plan to deepen and scale engagement with our global alumni community, donors and other supporters, mobilising them behind these shared priorities. We are strongly values-driven with a focus on sustaining a strong and supportive culture, which we see as key to creating a successful team that can realise these ambitions.
About the role
The Senior Advancement Communications Manager will play a leading role in delivering communications that strengthen alumni engagement, support philanthropic giving and enhance the reputation of the University among its alumni, supporters and wider community.
This vital new role will oversee the day-to-day delivery of our mass philanthropy and alumni communications programme. It will ensure that we are constantly reviewing our content and annual campaigns to improve understanding, drive engagement and respond to the changing communications landscape.
The postholder will work closely with colleagues across the department, including Advancement Writing, Legacy Giving, Mid-Level Giving, Philanthropy and Alumni Relations colleagues to build a comprehensive understanding of King's fundraising priorities, academic strengths and strategic engagement ambitions. They will use this insight to help their team to create and deliver compelling, audience-focused content that supports alumni engagement and advances the University's philanthropic goals.
The role combines strategic planning with hands-on delivery, providing leadership, project management and line management support while ensuring that communications activity is audience-focused, evidence-led and contributes to engagement and fundraising objectives.
