The Office of Advancement (OA) is currently in the public phase of the university's most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, called "Called to Be," which has a goal of $3 billion. The Associate Director, Campaign Operations and Planning, will play a crucial role in supporting this campaign by managing the planning and execution of campaign-related work. This position is situated within the Campaign Management and Donor Experience (CMDX) team and will work closely with various partners across OA and the University to ensure the smooth operation of the campaign. The Associate Director will assist the Senior Director, Campaign Operations & Planning, in managing University Strategic Initiative (USI) working groups, internal campaign education programming, and facilitating campaign close activities. This includes maintaining a running progress report and supporting future planning work. The role requires a data-driven mindset, as the individual will enhance operations through the university's Salesforce CRM, GU360. Regular interactions will include collaboration with members from various OA teams such as DATA, Stewardship, Donor Engagement, Development, and more. The Associate Director will also interface with University leadership and faculty, making this a pivotal role in the campaign's success.
