The Marketing, Development, & Alumni Manager for the Positive Youth Development (PYD) Institute provides leadership for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of integrated marketing, development, donor engagement, 4-H alumni relations, and public relations strategies that advance the Institute's mission and strategic priorities.

This position develops and executes initiatives and deliverables that increase awareness and understanding of Positive Youth Development and 4-H programs, strengthen engagement with 4-H alumni and supporters, cultivate entry-level donor relationships, and support fundraising activities.

Working collaboratively with Institute leadership, Extension colleagues, campus partners, including the Wisconsin Foundation & Alumni Association (WFAA), volunteers, donors, 4-H alumni, and external stakeholders, this position oversees advancement efforts that build visibility, promote program impact, foster lifelong engagement with 4-H, and generate resources to support youth development programming across Wisconsin.

• Development (donor engagement & events): 20%

The successful candidate will be expected to actively and positively contribute to a collaborative team, demonstrate highly effective teamwork skills, meet deadlines, provide leadership for student staff members in service to this position’s responsibilities, and attend events, educational programs, staff retreats, and in-person meetings throughout the year.

Division of Extension headquarters are located within Madison, WI with the preferred location at 3500 University Avenue, but the position location is flexible and will be determined based on programmatic needs, successful candidate’s preferences, and availability of suitable space.
