About the position
American Jewish Committee (AJC) is the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people. From world capitals to college campuses, AJC works with leaders across society to stand up for Israel; confront antisemitism, no matter the source; and uphold the democratic values that unite us. In the wake of Hamas' October 7 attack—the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust - AJC has mobilized its global network to tackle the unprecedented threats facing world Jewry. Join us. Together, we can shape a new future for Israel and the Jewish people. AJC's Regional Offices connect the local communities with AJC's global advocacy work to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel. We maintain the agency's nationwide presence by attracting leaders and donors to AJC, enhancing the organization's influence with key local, national, and international decision makers and stakeholders, implementing advocacy initiatives at the state and local level, and, establishing and nurturing community relationships.
