Senior Coordinator, Coalitions & Member Experience

Senior Coordinator, Coalitions & Member Experience

Who we are:

Campus Compact is a national coalition of colleges and universities committed to the public purposes of higher education. As the largest national higher education association dedicated solely to higher education civic and community engagement, Campus Compact enables higher education institutions to develop students’ citizenship skills and forge effective community partnerships. Our resources support senior administrators, faculty, staff, and students as they pursue community-based teaching, scholarship, and action in the service of positive change.

Today, we stand at a defining moment: we are ready to scale our impact when the stakes for our work have never been higher. We know that higher education has a critical role to play in fostering democratic principles and culture by addressing polarization, strengthening civic participation, and ensuring students are prepared to navigate and shape our democracy. Thanks to the investment of philanthropic partners, Campus Compact is preparing for a period of significant growth and expansion, particularly in the areas of innovation, scaling, and coalition building. 

About the role:

The Senior Coordinator, Coalitions and Member Experience is a member-facing execution role that supports coalition activity and the overall membership experience through responsive communication, sound judgment, and reliable follow-through. This role sits at the intersection of operations and relationships. It ensures that day-to-day work runs smoothly across the full member lifecycle, from onboarding and engagement to renewal. It is the operational backbone of the member experience domain, handling interactions with members with confidence and care, maintaining the systems and workflows that keep member-facing processes running seamlessly and escalating issues thoughtfully and strategically. 

The ideal candidate brings relational experience, operational precision and strong communications skills to a role that is both externally engaged with our members, and operationally responsible. By ensuring consistent, high quality execution across member touchpoints, the Senior Coordinator role protects leadership capacity while strengthening trust with members.

Data-informed decision-making is foundational: Team members are expected to use data to inform decisions or demonstrate a willingness to learn and adopt data-informed approaches as membership work continues to evolve.

Customer service and member experience are inseparable: Responsiveness, clarity, tone, and follow-through shape trust, engagement, and retention. Every interaction contributes to the overall member experience.

Recruitment is a shared responsibility: While the Senior Manager for Member Recruitment owns execution, all team members contribute by representing Campus Compact well externally, identifying prospective members, reinforcing the value of participation, and traveling to events or campuses as appropriate.
