Thunderbird School of Global
Management has one of the most global and dynamic networks of alumni and donors in the world. T-birds are true global citizens, defined by
their global mindset, entrepreneurial nature, ability to navigate different cultures and environments and bring unique perspectives to
complex situations. Founded on the principle that borders frequented by trade seldom need soldiers, Thunderbird is as vital for the
world today as it ever has been. Alumni and donors are critical to Thunderbird's student experience, strategy, philanthropic ambitions and
future growth, and this is a unique opportunity to shape a modern and global engagement strategy as dynamic and innovative as the
constituents it serves.

The Senior Director, Engagement (SDE) is a leadership role as part of Thunderbird's integrated advancement
team. Reporting to the Executive Director, the SDE is responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive engagement strategy for
Thunderbird's 46,000 alumni, over 100,000 global learners (and growing), and our community of donors. The SDE will also have management
oversight of our philanthropic campaigns, including estate and planned giving, annual fund and donor stewardship, ensuring that engagement
and giving are intrinsically linked and seamlessly integrated.

The SDE will lead a small and talented team working with a network of
over 85 global and domestic chapters, run by a group of dedicated volunteers. This role will be the lead contact for the Thunderbird Global
Alumni Network (TGAN) and support the new CEO Roundtable and will work closely with the Dean and other members of Thunderbird's senior
leadership to develop creative and compelling ways to further engage stakeholders across Thunderbird, including executive education,
corporate engagement, recruitment and admissions, student experience and success. This includes the extended global network of learners
engaged through Thunderbird's non-degreed platforms, including 100 Million Learners and executive education. The SDE will also develop close
and collaborative working relationships across ASU and the ASU Foundation.

Thunderbird has big ambitions for its alumni engagement.
The successful candidate will not only be an experienced and strategic engagement professional, but will be creative, entrepreneurial and
not be afraid to take risks or try new initiatives. A persuasive communicator and skilled relationship builder, the SDE will be someone who
thrives in a fast-paced, globally networked environment and is inspired by Thunderbird's role as a force for good in developing the
entrepreneurs, industries and ecosystems of the future. Digital literacy, in particular an understanding of the potential presented by AI
and other digital tools, is essential. Experience of targeted direct mail or digital campaigns, or annual giving, would be advantageous, as
would having experienced a truly integrated advancement approach.

This role would suit someone who loves to travel and enjoys
experiencing different cultures. Joining Thunderbird means being part of an inspiring international community at the forefront of global
management, digital transformation and purpose-driven leadership. This position offers the chance to put alumni at the heart of
Thunderbird's mission and drive measurable global impact.
