that the position will oversee aim to meet annual revenue goals, increase alumni
participation rates, and broaden the base of constituent engagement. This role will also have the
opportunity to build-out a currently modest digital footprint, including the opportunity to think
through solicitations and stewardship via e-mail, social media, digital ads, and earned vs. paid
media.

The Office of Annual Giving is a growing team that currently consists of 8 colleagues who provide
annual giving services to the nine schools of the university, various departments of Johns Hopkins
Medicine, and several centers and institutes, totaling over 25 partners. These annual giving
services include developing comprehensive and integrated solicitation strategies that are optimal
for each development unit and are data-driven. Like all offices and units in Development and Alumni

short and long-term goals around revenue and donor count—create appropriate goals, time tables,

• Expand the current OAG digital footprint and outline a future plan that will allow OAG and
Johns Hopkins Development & Alumni Relations to be better positioned to meet fundraising goals in a
growing mobile/digital society.
• Utilize reports, data pulls, spreadsheets, and other database tools to monitor accuracy of
data and track overall progress of the Office of Annual Giving’s direct appeal efforts.
• Work closely with the Office of Advancement Services along with the Sr. Associate Director of
Data Analysis on OAG to design and implement an appropriate data infrastructure that will allow OAG
to better track direct response results.
• Serve as key liaison with direct appeal external vendors, including the negotiation and
management of contracts with printers and mail houses.
• Participate in short and longterm strategic planning for the Office of Annual Giving providing
analysis of data for trends, areas to improve and resources related to the direct appeal program.
• Conduct research on best-in-class marketing programs across sectors and make recommendations
to further align Office of Annual Giving strategies with industry best practices.
• Other duties as assigned by the Director of Integrated Marketing.


Qualifications:

Bachelor's Degree preferred. At least five years of progressive experience in
direct response marketing, with experience in annual giving preferred.


Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of graphic design and desktop publishing, preferably Microsoft Publisher and Adobe
Creative Suite is a plus.
• Experience with website development and maintenance, information architecture, content
management systems, HTML.
• Working knowledge of social media and Google analytics; knowledge of developing and

• Strong organizational skills and sound judgement around prioritizing many and sometimes
competing obligations.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills with the ability to listen and respond appropriately to donor
and staff inquiries and concerns.
• Excellent computer skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and ability to learn new software as
needed.
• Thrive in high-energy environments that often have short deadlines and shifting priorities.
