About the role

University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton External Affairs seeks an Executive Director of Alumni Programming & Events in Philadelphia to lead strategic alumni engagement and lifelong learning initiatives, and to shape programming that aligns with institutional priorities and fundraising goals. The role requires strong leadership, collaboration with faculty and senior leaders, and a track record of delivering high-impact events for a sophisticated audience.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
