About the Role
As Community Engagement Manager, you’ll play a vital role in shaping vibrant Jewish life that spans generations, levels of observance, and the full diversity of our region. Through relationship-building, creative programming, and inclusive outreach, you will inspire connection, foster belonging, and help build a community where every Jew feels seen, valued, and empowered to participate.
In this management-level position, you’ll operate with a strategic lens—overseeing multiple programs, volunteers, and initiatives, ensuring alignment with the Jewish Federation’s broader mission. This is your chance to bring people together with purpose and passion, and to work alongside a team as driven as you.

• Overseeing PJ Library: PJ is a program aimed at supporting families to raise Jewish children through Jewish-themed books. It’s also the framework to create an array of opportunities to engage families with young children, including our Jewish Family Education Initiative.
• Creating Impactful Programs: Gradually design and execute inclusive, innovative events and programs that reflect Jewish values and help build community.
• Supporting Lay Leadership: Recruit, support, and collaborate with volunteers and committees to bring ideas to life, build leadership pipelines, and expand community engagement.

• Partnering with Local Organizations: Collaborate with synagogues, schools, agencies, and interfaith partners to broaden impact and deepen relationships.
