This is a unique opportunity for someone who is skilled in building relationships, social media, organizing, marketing, event planning, and program development. The ideal candidate must be able to demonstrate outstanding interpersonal skills and previous successful implementation of creative ideas, either from their own college experience or previous employment.
The IACT Birthright Coordinator will report to the Senior Director of Engagement and will work closely with the broader Student Life Team to reach our goals of engaging all Jewish students on campus in ways that are meaningful to them.
