Job Description The Washington National Opera (WNO) Assistant Manager of Individual Giving (AMIG) reports to WNO’s Director of Major Gifts (DMG) and is an essential member of the WNO Major Gifts team and the Kennedy Center Development department. 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. As a member of the Major Gifts team, the AMIG also plays a vital role in helping identify Circles members with Major Gifts-level capacity (contributions above $25,000), and through stewardship, cultivation, and collaboration with WNO’s DMG, Major Gifts Officers, WNO’s Managing Director of Advancement, and WNO’s Director of Individual Giving and Operations helps migrate such patrons into Major Gifts’ portfolios.

Key Responsibilities The AMIG is responsible for overseeing the WNO Circles program by stewarding, soliciting, and identifying current and prospective Circles supporters, managing their philanthropic engagement, growth, and involvement, and encouraging and developing their appreciation for and enjoyment of the art form to enrich their opera-going experience and strengthen their financial commitment. The AMIG maintains a cyclical calendar for renewals and acquisitions, coordinating a multi-staged annual campaign that includes various forms of communications and engagement—letters, emails, phone calls, meetings, visits, curated opportunities to learn more about opera and WNO productions, socialization at performances, invitations to cultivation events. The AMIG is responsible for: creating or overseeing the creation of WNO Circles communications materials for renewals; documenting pledges and payments; drafting acknowledgement letters for WNO Circles donations; and, with colleagues, identifying and acquiring new members. The AMIG is expected to think strategically about such engagement, involving WNO leadership or Board members, when appropriate, in solicitations or gift acknowledgements to encourage donors’ enhanced involvement. The position must maintain clear, informative call reports, donor records, pledge payment schedules, gift histories, and strategic moves within the CRM system and through other appropriate means to ensure consistent stewardship, fulfillment of donor benefits, accurate recognition, and long-term engagement of this group of patrons.

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. Other duties as assigned. Key Qualifications Bachelor’s degree Minimum 2 years professional development experience, with demonstrable attributes applicable to this position. Experience working with Boards and in a team with shared goals. Knowledge of broad fundraising principles, standard accounting procedures, development trends, prospect research, and Boards is essential. An understanding of large cultural institutions is beneficial but not required. Self-motivated, creative, collaborative, and entrepreneurial. 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. Ability and willingness to collaborate across a matrixed organization to make best use of the expertise of other departments to effect positive change and achieve shared goals. Excellent organizational, written, and verbal communication skills. Ability to communicate persuasively, in person and in writing. Experience with Tessitura and/or other CRM systems. Interest in and knowledge of music, opera, and the arts is helpful. Candidate must be local or willing to relocate to the DMV area. Relocation assistance is not provided.

Additional Information Working outside of normal business hours (evenings and weekends) is expected during the performance seasons, primarily during WNO performances and events, and to assist with Kennedy Center and National Symphony Orchestra events if needed. Other than when out of office at donor meetings or for other business, normal hours are in-office. The WNO/Kennedy Center environment is a large, vibrant, faced-paced setting that values creativity, initiative, efficiency, diversity, and teamwork. ABOUT WASHINGTON NATIONAL OPERA Led by General Director Timothy O’Leary and internationally-acclaimed stage director and WNO Artistic Director, Francesca Zambello, Washington National Opera celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2026.
