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 arrangement with three days onsite. 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 Assistant Director of Alumni Relations is a key member of the Development and Alumni Relations team at Carey Business School. This position manages philanthropy and relationship building for current students and Carey’s recent graduates (within five years of graduation). The Assistant Director has three primary focus areas: 1) manage philanthropic and engagement programs for students, including Beet Week, Carey’s annual spirit week, 2) build connections with recent graduates as they transition from students to alumni, and 3) cultivate donors from among Carey’s recent graduates. Programs for students and recent graduates support a successful transition into the alumni community. These early engagement programs help drive our students’ identities as members of the Johns Hopkins alumni community, and cultivate a pipeline of lifelong alumni supporters and leaders. The Assistant Director reports to the Director of Alumni Relations.
