Sr. Development Coordinator

Development and Alumni Relations (DAR) supports Johns Hopkins’ focus on research, teaching and patient care, and its role as a national and global leader in higher education. We create and foster enduring relationships that result in advocacy and philanthropic support for Johns Hopkins University & Medicine—strengthening the institution through partnerships with donors, alumni, volunteer leaders, faculty, students, staff, and patients.

Johns Hopkins University supports a flexible work model which includes four different work modalities. This role has a hybrid work arrangement with an onsite presence of 3 days per week. The manager will confirm the team’s core onsite days where the majority/all team members will work in the office. Employees who travel on university business can count those days towards their onsite days.

The office of volunteer engagement supports the engagement, stewardship, and recognition of leadership volunteers across Johns Hopkins University and Medicine at both the divisional level and as a central services bureau. It seeks to engage, steward and recognize Johns Hopkins leadership volunteers according to their interests, through meaningful activities that encourage and recognize their long-term support of the institution and the positive impact of their involvement and philanthropy.

Developing and maintaining a community of engaged leadership volunteers is vital to the university and the success of Development and Alumni Relations (DAR).

Leadership volunteers include trustees, trustees emeritus, advisory council members, Alumni Council officers, campaign or development committee members, reunion class agents, or other volunteer leaders, who are managed by Development and Alumni Relations.

The Senior Development Coordinator supports the volunteer engagement program and serves as a front-line representative to university trustees, advisory board members, donors at all levels, DAR Executive Team members and staff in the offices of the President, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations, and Principal Gifts, as well as other senior managers and colleagues across DAR, faculty leaders, and the general public.

Collaborating with a wide range of colleagues across Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Medicine is a critical aspect of the Sr. Development Coordinator's role.
