Major Gifts Manager

Shakespeare Theatre Company, in Washington D.C., seeks a Major
Gifts Manager. This position works within the Individual Giving
team and reports to the Associate Director of Development,
Individual Giving. Responsibilities include managing a portfolio of
current donors from the $1,800-$9,999 level, supporting the
Associate Director in arranging and planning donor travel, tracking
and delivering major donor benefits, and ensuring donors receive
excellent donor stewardship. This is a full-time position with
excellent benefits and an annual salary of $65,000 – $70,000.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in Arts
Management, Business, Marketing, or Communications, or equivalent
professional experience. An additional 2-5 years of arts
fundraising (or fundraising in a related field) and experience with
Tessitura (or other database programs) and email programs is
strongly preferred. Under the dynamic leadership of Simon Godwin,
STC is at a thrilling moment of opportunity as it strives to become
the leading classical theatre in the nation. Candidates should love
people and theatre and bringing the two together. Enthusiasm for
theatre is a must; knowledge of Shakespeare and classical theatre
is helpful but not required. This is a hybrid position, with three
days a week on-site required, and possible additional days for
meetings or events.

STC is committed to building an inclusive, equitable, and
anti-racist organization that reflects the community where we live
and work. To learn about the company’s ongoing efforts and to read
