As an organization we highly value teamwork, results orientation, and innovation.
The Principal & Transformative Gift (P&T) Operations program at Georgetown University's Office of Advancement is a centralized program which acts as the primary operational project manager, coordination point, and strategic partner for front-line fundraising colleagues and advances prospective donor strategies where the donor has the capacity to make principal ($5M+) and transformative ($10M+) gifts. Closely partnering with colleagues across both OA and the university, this team - led by the Senior Director, P&T Gift Operations - will help to shepherd the highest-level prospects and gifts solicited by a high performing team of front-line fundraising team from cultivation to stewardship.
The P&T Operations team - within the Campaign Management and Donor Experience (CMDX) team - works closely with colleagues on the Development, Business Operations, and DATA teams to accomplish their work.
The Senior Director of P&T Gift Operations serves as the central node for P&T donor strategies ensuring all parties involved have the right information and resources to facilitate gifts for the university.

While not necessarily directly responsible for next steps, the Senior Director has a critical role monitoring and facilitating completion of next steps.
