What operations manager donors give in federal races

Donors who listed OPERATIONS MANAGER as occupation account for $4.7M in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. The exact occupation total is $4,662,772 on 26,236 contribution lines tied to 1,136 donor records. OPERATIONS MANAGER is a two-word workplace title, not MANAGER or COO. Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X.

Key figures

  • OPERATIONS MANAGER itemizations sum to $4,662,772 ($4.7M) from 26,236 contributions and 1,136 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $178 per contribution and about $4,105 per donor record.
  • MANAGER and COO are separate occupation keys unless normalized here.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

A mid-volume ops title under $4.7M

$4,662,772 is the occupation-level dollar total. 26,236 is the itemization count. 1,136 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $178. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,105. Repeat giving is about 23 itemizations per donor record.

26,236 lines from 1,136 records is a high-frequency pattern for a two-word rank title. The per-line mean of about $178 is modest: dollars accumulated in many schedules rather than a few large checks. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no industry-of-operations flag, and no party split. OPERATIONS MANAGER can describe a warehouse, a clinic, a plant, or a software team. The occupation column does not say which.

Operations manager is not manager and not COO

MANAGER, COO, and OPERATIONS DIRECTOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to OPERATIONS MANAGER. This page cites only $4,662,772, 26,236 contributions, and 1,136 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of operations grades. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals OPERATIONS MANAGER after indexing. OPS MANAGER remains another page unless it normalized here.

What 1,136 donor records cannot show

1,136 donor records used OPERATIONS MANAGER on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of working operations managers. Retired staff, people who abbreviated a longer title, and forms filled with a spouse’s job can appear. Address variants can split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed OPERATIONS MANAGER on some gifts and MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 23-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,136 unique people each gave 23 times.

Keep employer industry tables separate

Industry pages group employer-side categories. An operations manager at a manufacturer and one at a hospital share this occupation string if they typed OPERATIONS MANAGER. Adding $4,662,772 to any industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the OPERATIONS MANAGER occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to MANAGER and COO. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $4,662,772.

How to cite OPERATIONS MANAGER

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: OPERATIONS MANAGER itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $4,662,772 on 26,236 contributions from 1,136 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party or workplace. Recipient committees are a different join. Compact millions ($4.7M) are the same headline amount as $4,662,772, rounded to one decimal place.

OPERATIONS MANAGER as typed rank text

OPERATIONS MANAGER in this extract is $4,662,772 on 26,236 itemizations from 1,136 donor records, or $4.7M in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $178 per contribution and about $4,105 per donor record, with roughly 23 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. MANAGER and COO remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to OPERATIONS MANAGER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $4,662,772. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals OPERATIONS MANAGER, dollars equal $4,662,772, contributions equal 26,236, donors equal 1,136. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of OPERATIONS MANAGER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
