The AMIG is charged with the retention, stewardship, and ongoing management of WNO’s Circles membership (donors who annually give between $1,800-$24,999), and the identification, cultivation, and acquisition of prospective Circles-level contributors. Donations from Circles patrons are a cornerstone of WNO’s annual contributed income goals, and the AMIG plays a crucial role in sustaining and growing this important base of support.

When needed, the AMIG assists with prospect research of Circles members, helps the WNO Development team prepare donor profiles or presentations for major gifts solicitations, or provides collegial support to colleagues during deadlines. In addition to the AMIG’s primary focus on the Circles program, the position participates in WNO Major Gifts meetings and Kennedy Center-wide Development meetings, contributing to the broad strategic thinking of contributed income projections for the Opera and supporting WNO and Kennedy Center colleagues as needed to achieve shared goals. As part of the WNO Development team, the AMIG participates in the planning of WNO’s annual gala and is assigned duties prior to and during the event. These duties may include assisting with the development of lists, invitations, drafting guest profiles, and other duties as needed. The Officer also suggests, oversees, or supports cultivation events throughout the year designed to engage new prospects, encourage increased commitments, and enrich donor involvement.

Ability to multi-task, and deftly interact with a variety of personalities, internally and externally. Ability and confidence to work without close supervision, to foresee development needs, and to actively participate in strategy meetings. Flexibility and eagerness to communicate and problem-solve with a positive attitude is essential.

Excellent organizational, written, and verbal communication skills. Ability to communicate persuasively, in person and in writing. Experience with Tessitura and/or other CRM systems.

WNO celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2026. Each season, the $24 million company produces five innovative mainstage productions—from the classics to the rare to the contemporary—and an annual holiday opera for families. Since 2012, the company’s much-lauded American Opera Initiative has commissioned and produced 36 twenty-minute operas, three each year, from emerging composers and librettists, and 7 hour-long operas, 6 of which have subsequently been seen at companies across the U.S. WNO’s Cafritz Young Artists program is considered one of the finest resident training and career advancement programs in the world, offering singers on the verge of international careers intensive coaching, career guidance, and—importantly—supporting roles in WNO mainstage productions and leading roles in the American Opera Initiative world premieres. WNO and the Kennedy Center annually celebrate the Marian Anderson Award given to a young American singer who has achieved initial success in opera, oratorio, or recital repertory with an annual recital, and WNO, in concert with Kennedy Center Education, oversee the WNO Opera Institute, a summer training program for high school singers. WNO further extends its mission into the community with programs throughout the year in churches, community centers, at the Library of Congress and other major institutions, with the tech community, and with teens at the Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Center.
