With a major fundraising and engagement campaign ahead, your role will be central to achieving ambitious goals. This full-time hybrid position is based at our White City campus, with occasional travel to South Kensington.

What you would be doing:

You’ll keep the Alumni Engagement team running smoothly by supporting the Director of Alumni Engagement with high-level administration and project coordination. You’ll manage meetings, communications, and initiatives that connect alumni with Imperial and each other. As the university’s major campaign progresses, you’ll contribute to team projects, content creation, and stakeholder engagement—bringing strong organisation, attention to detail, and a customer-focused approach. If you're adaptable, collaborative, and enjoy combining precision with creative problem-solving, this is your chance to make a real impact in a dynamic, mission-driven team.

What we are looking for:

We’re seeking an experienced administrator to support the Director and Alumni Engagement team. You’ll bring:

• Proven experience in administrative and project support roles.
• Ability to manage multiple programmes and team-wide initiatives.
• Confidence with budgets and financial tracking.
• Discretion in handling confidential information.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and deadline management.
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication.
• A collaborative, flexible approach with a customer-focused mindset.

What we can offer you:

· Benefit from a sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days’ annual leave and generous pension schemes).

· Access to workplace benefits including a flexible working policy from day one, generous family leave packages, on-site leisure facilities cycle-to-work scheme and interest-free season ticket loan schemes.
