The Managing Director, Unit Development (MDOD) is a leader within the Office of Advancement and senior member of the unit development team, charged with providing strategic management of the comprehensive fundraising strategy for two high performing development teams within OA; the Walsh School of Foreign Service and the Office of Family Philanthropy teams. This position is also a senior fundraiser, expected to routinely ask for and raise major, planned, and principal gifts. In the midst of the University's most ambitious campaign yet, Called to Be, it has never been a more exciting time to join Georgetown's high-performing, best-in-class development office, which is poised to raise over $3B during the course of this campaign in support of the University's strategic initiatives. Reporting directly to the Associate Vice President for Unit Development, the MDOD will be charged with ensuring the comprehensive build out of a strategy and execution plan for the SFS as it relates to their philanthropic activities, guiding and building a highly engaging parent and family giving program for the university, managing multiple fundraisers and support staff positions, and, most notably, overseeing a personal portfolio of current and prospective donors while meeting annual fundraising metrics. The MDoD will be expected to raise $7M+ annually and conduct approximately 100 visits. The MDoD will also have an appropriate task goal, focused on soliciting six-figure and larger gifts. While the position's primary responsibility is to raise funds for the SFS, the role will also be expected to, at times, be a University generalist and be able to engage and represent all needs across campus, as many donors have multiple philanthropic interests at Georgetown. As with all unit or school-based fundraising roles, this position will sometimes require behind-the-scenes coordination among academic leadership, fellow development officers, and volunteers. This will certainly be the case with parent donors and prospects with whom this position works closely. Additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
