OVERVIEWCome join a dedicated and creative team at an exceptional time for the Smithsonian, an institution with a bold vision for the future: to build a better tomorrow for all. Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III and the institution’s leadership are launching a campaign to support this vision. The Smithsonian Campaign for Our Shared Future will secure funds for all Smithsonian museums and centers as the institution reimagines its mission to find solutions for collective challenges in a rapidly changing world. The campaign will provide a foundation for critical research to ensure people and nature thrive together, build unparalleled education programs with families and partners, collect the world’s most precious objects, document the present while reflecting on the past, and reimagine the visitor experience both in-person and online. We are bringing the Smithsonian off the National Mall and across the country through dynamic programming and affiliate partnerships, creating access for all. The Smithsonian is also developing two new museums—the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum. These museums will share the experiences and perspectives of Latinos and women across history and deepen our shared understanding of what it means to be American. 

The Office of Advancement oversees and guides the fundraising efforts of the entire Smithsonian and is home to the central advancement organization for the Institution. In addition to raising significant support for a variety of Smithsonian initiatives, the Office of Advancement provides support services to advancement offices across the Institution. The office engages with staff throughout the Smithsonian in accomplishing their goals. 
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIESThe Office of Advancement seeks to hire an experienced Associate Gift Registrar who performs a variety of operational activities related to processing and receipting of charitable contributions to the Institution. This position is part of a team that is responsible for gift registration and recording, gift modifications, and coordination with unit colleagues regarding gifts to the Institution. This position includes daily entry of gifts and pledges, fulfillment of requests for gift documentation, preparation of daily bank deposits, identification, and documentation of process efficiencies in preparation for the transition to a new Institution-wide CRM, and completion of ad hoc projects as assigned by the Gift Registrar.  
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSApplicants must have a minimum of two years of experience in gift entry, knowledge of IRS charitable contribution regulations and how they relate to financial accounting practices, preferably in complex higher education or a large cultural or environmental organization. Knowledge of donor database software (e.g., Advance, RE or Banner), accounting systems, and Microsoft Office is desired. Strong organizational, relationship, collaboration, and communication skills as well as the ability to work independently are essential. Applications should demonstrate the ability to coordinate complex procedures and to manage multiple projects simultaneously. The successful candidate will have a passion for learning and exploration, and the desire to join an innovative and growing operation. Applicants who wish to qualify based on education completed outside the United States must be deemed equivalent to higher education programs of U.S. Institutions by an organization that specializes in the interpretation of foreign educational credentials. This documentation is the responsibility of the applicant and should be included as part of your application package. Any false statement in your application may result in your application being rejected and may also result in termination after employment begins. Application Instructions The Smithsonian Institution values and seeks a diverse workforce. Join us in "Inspiring Generations through Knowledge and Discovery." Interested candidates should submit their resumes and a cover letter by May 27, 2024. Resumes should include a description of your paid and non-paid work experience that is related to this job; starting and ending dates of job (month and year); and average number of hours worked per week.
