Assistant or Deputy Regional Director for Mid-Atlantic and Florida

J Street•New York, NY

About The Position

J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans to promote US policies that align with Jewish and democratic values, that help secure the State of Israel as a just, democratic homeland for the Jewish people, and that advance freedom, safety and self-determination for the Palestinian people. J Street focuses its work in three main areas: advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy policies in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; endorsing and supporting federal candidates who share J Street's agenda; and educating the public and raising awareness of the need for a lasting peace that ensures security, dignity, and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians. This is a moment of real consequence for J Street — and for the issues we work on. The debate over Israel-Palestine in Congress, in the Jewish community, and in American politics is shifting, and J Street is at the center of that shift. Over the past five years, we have doubled our budget and dramatically expanded our reach. We're looking for two talented professionals who are ready to grow with J Street as we step into our next chapter and help shape what that chapter looks like. We're hiring for two distinct roles across some of our most active regions — one focused on New York and Florida, and one on Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Both positions sit within a dynamic seven-person NYC-based team and offer real leadership responsibility at a moment of organizational momentum. Ideal candidates will bring a passion for fundraising, deep relationships in the Jewish community, and a strong understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it plays out in American politics.

Requirements

A strong commitment to J Street's mission, including support for a secure, Jewish and democratic future for Israel and an active US role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict diplomatically.
At least 4 years of relevant professional experience.
Demonstrated ability to build and cultivate relationships with a wide range of community contacts.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly represent J Street's positions.
Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and work both independently and as part of a team.
Willingness to travel regionally; the NY/Florida role requires quarterly travel to Florida.
Valid driver's license.
