ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Repair the World is seeking a dynamic and experienced leader to serve as its Senior Director of Field Activation Strategy (“Senior Director”) in a unique moment of growth and opportunity. In May 2020, Repair created the Jewish Service Alliance (“JSA”), a field activating coalition of Jewish organizations dedicated to enhancing and expanding service opportunities for the Jewish community. The JSA mobilizes tens of thousands of participants annually in impactful Jewish service, growing the Jewish service movement to empower flourishing Jewish communities that serve in pursuit of a just world. This coalition now includes 50+ organizations committed to building the Jewish Service Movement.

The Senior Director will play a pivotal role in enhancing and expanding the JSA – the heartbeat of the Jewish Service Movement Repair is building – by overseeing JSA-wide strategy, including strategic communications with partners, creating new, customized partnerships, managing the Field Activation Team, and planning other field building initiatives.

Organizational Leadership

• Collaborate with senior leadership and participate in cross-organizational teams to support wider organizational goals.
• Represent Repair the World at convenings and national conferences, including teaching and training at communal gatherings.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders involved in developing, executing, launching, tracking, and reporting on National Partnership Programs.

Repair believes service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. In 2009, Repair the World began elevating meaningful service as a defining element of Jewish life by engaging Jewish young adults in service and learning to meet pressing local needs. Today, Repair leads the Jewish service movement, connecting Jews and their neighbors to volunteer opportunities that always include meaningful Jewish learning. Repair hosts volunteer opportunities in cities across the country, and partners with major Jewish organizations—like Hillels, JCCs, and Federations—to bring Jewish service to people all over the world.

Impact

By 2030, Repair the World will inspire and catalyze one million acts of service and learning to repair the world.

Repair the World saw unprecedented growth, significantly increasing the number of participants who contributed meaningful acts of service and learning.
