Description

Who We Are:

Base envisions a Jewish world where every young adult has access to inspiring rabbinic leadership. We do this by welcoming young adults into the homes of young rabbinic couples who model what vibrant Jewish life can look like. We’re a part of Moishe House, the global leader in peer-led Jewish young adult engagement. 

Moishe (pronounced moy-shuh) House is what being Jewish in your 20s is all about. Launched in 2006 when four friends began hosting Shabbat dinners in their home, Moishe House provides a space for over 70,000 young adults around the world to create meaningful, welcoming Jewish communities for themselves and their peers each year. To date, there are more than 150 communities in over 40 countries, and we’re still growing!

Base and Moishe House are searching for an Operations Manager to be an integral member of our national team’s work to grow the field of entrepreneurial spiritual leadership. This is an opportunity for a logistics maven/data analyst/expert executor to support the growing demand for inspiring rabbinic leadership in pluralistic and accessible settings.

As Operations Manager, you’ll enable the success of Base through the management and analysis of our finances, metrics, and logistics. You’ll thrive in this role if you get excited by numbers and the stories they tell; if you’re someone who is exceptionally attentive to details, and you know how to translate data and analytics into compelling narratives.
