The Stephen S. Wise Temple • Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

At Stephen Wise Temple, communications is about more than promoting programs or sending emails. It’s how we welcome people into Jewish life, tell the story of our community, and help people find the experiences and relationships that make Stephen Wise feel like home. This position does not require the successful candidate to be Jewish. However, as a member of the Stephen Wise Temple team, the Communications Associate must demonstrate professionalism, respect for Jewish values and traditions, and a commitment to the mission and values of our community. The successful candidate should be comfortable communicating about Jewish life, holidays, traditions, and community experiences with thoughtfulness, accuracy, respect, and a willingness to learn. If you’re highly organized, enjoy turning ideas into polished communications, and get satisfaction from keeping projects moving and details on track, we’d love to meet you. Working closely with the Chief Engagement Officer, the Communications Associate helps bring Stephen Wise to life across email, web, social media, and print. You’ll build communications, coordinate projects and deadlines, maintain digital content, and make sure great ideas actually get out the door. You’ll also help us find smarter, more efficient ways to work—including thoughtful use of AI and emerging technology.
