Job Overview

The DA works closely with front-line development officers, in a partnership aimed at growing talent and building a pipeline for front-line development officers who are interested in making their careers at Georgetown and ensuring the relevant front line fundraisers get both the high level administrative and strategic support they need to properly maintain an outward focus on building relationships and closing gifts. The DA is responsible for portfolio review, maintenance, and strategy; identifying and researching potential donors to the university, and providing support to development officers in addition to managing a small portfolio of annual and major gift prospects and developing into a front-line development officer.

This position is designed to serve as a learning and training experience, structured to grow the talent of the DA such that they are prepared to be competitive as candidates for assistant director of development positions with high-end annual gift/low-end major gift portfolios. The DA is responsible for the day-to-day fulfillment of prospect research inquiries and requests in support of Georgetown University's fundraising initiatives. The DA provides accurate, timely, and comprehensive analysis and information about prospective donors to the University.

This position requires tact, diplomacy, and confidentiality in dealing with members of the University community and the University's donors.
