Director of Alumni & Stakeholder Relations, National Young Leadership Cabinet

Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) represents 146 local Jewish community Federations and 300 smaller Network communities, which raise and distribute more than $3 billion annually for social welfare, social services, and educational needs. The Jewish Federation system, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, builds and sustains flourishing Jewish communities in North America, Israel, and around the world.

National Young Leadership Cabinet (Cabinet) is JFNA's premier volunteer-talent development initiative founded in 1963 to train and inspire the most promising young community leaders and philanthropists for positions of leadership. Cabinet attracts individuals who lead at the highest levels of Jewish communal boards and organizational life.  Cabinet has more than 4,200 alumni across North America and around the world who credit the program as having changed their lives.          

Cabinet's Director of Alumni & Stakeholder Relations engages and mobilizes Cabinet alumni for the benefit of building flourishing Jewish communities around the world.  Cabinet and its alumni are central figures in strengthening Jewish life globally.  While alumni generally remain connected as Jewish leaders, this position will create an intentional action network among them – to galvanize them around big, transformative community issues, to identify pathways for their strategic involvement over the long-term, to convene them around age/stage interests, and to enlist their partnership in cultivating the next generation of young Jewish leaders.  

Competitive candidates are innovative self-starters, experienced in working with high-profile volunteers and galvanizing constituents around a shared vision, goals, and strategy.  Exemplary relationship-building and written/oral communication skills essential.  Candidates will bring a deep appreciation of Jewish values and commitment to cultivating leaders for the collective vitality of the global Jewish community.

Preferably based in NYC but open to remote location.  Occasional travel to NYC required.
