If the IUF sounds like a fit for you, we invite you to join us today.
Job Description
This position has a hybrid schedule with 3 days in the office per week in our Bloomington, Indiana office. Candidate must reside in the state of Indiana or be willing to relocate by first day of employment.
The salary range for this role is $65,000-$75,000.
The Indiana University Foundation is seeking outgoing, driven, and talented marketing leaders to build out our recently blended team. Having combined the marketing teams from the Alumni Association and Foundation, we seek lead strategists and marketing gurus to help us think differently about our work.
This newly created role was designed to bring a more strategic, holistic and thoughtful approach to drive business outcomes, where you'll build lead generation and pipeline development strategies for both organizations. You will play a crucial role in increasing brand awareness, driving alumni and donor engagement, and ultimately boosting event attendance and philanthropic donations.
You will help us prioritize our work and stay focused on organizational outcomes. You will align to university objectives, deepen constituent engagement, increase awareness and advocacy, foster a culture of philanthropy, and amplify the impact of our work through shaping our storytelling, market segmentation and proven marketing gameplans.
Individuals will be responsible for developing and executing large and small-scale business plans to strengthen our relationships with alumni and donors, drive business growth, enhance brand visibility, and develop and achieve specific marketing objectives.
We seek data-driven, creative, and innovative marketing wizards-individuals who excel at extrapolating organizational needs, synthesizing business partner challenges, and designing robust marketing strategies and executable plans to realize results. You'll know how to corral, motivate, and activate project team members to fulfill those requests, and you'll review data intelligence to align and adjust, and make informed business decisions midstream. Finally, you'll supervise the execution of work and lock arms with our Creative, Communication, Web, Data and Copy team members to drive attendance and registration, volunteerism and fundraising goals.
