Hillel of Colorado seeks a full-time University of Denver (DU) Hillel Jewish Student Life Director to lead DU Hillel students as they navigate these critical years. You will empower students to craft and implement strategies that engage and support diverse and pluralistic Jewish student life on a campus with about 500 Jewish undergraduate students and an equal number of Jewish graduate students.
As DU Hillel Jewish Student Life Director, you will be in charge of all student and university-facing activities at the DU Hillel – where students have strengthened their connection to Jewish life and found a warm, welcoming home-away from home for over half a century. Under your leadership and oversight this student-run, staff-supported Hillel will continue striving toward the excellence you and your students will define. You will report to our Assistant Director of Hillel of Colorado – who will serve as your thought-partner and co-strategist – and you will be an integral part of a dynamic team housed at the Merage & Allon Hillel Center at DU and within our collaborative statewide structure.
This may be a great fit for you if you are seeking a full-time career-track position; if our mission and goals excite you; if you have many of the diverse skills this job requires – and still strive to grow as a professional; if you are a leader who strives to collaborate and inspire; and if you wish to make a significant impact on those who will lead tomorrow’s Jewish communities.
This may be a great fit for you if you seek to make an impact on Jewish leaders of today and tomorrow; if you have Jewish cultural competency; if Hillel’s mission, vision, and goals excite you; if you have the skill set this job requires and you strive always to grow as a professional; if you are a compassionate team player who enjoys inspiring others; and if you wish to bring your expertise to enhancing our organizational culture.
NOTE: It is a big plus if you have worked successfully with teenagers and/or college-age students; worked in a nonprofit or mission-driven organization; worked in a Jewish summer camp.
