Your contagious energy, outgoing personality, inclusive spirit, and creativity will serve you well as you work collaboratively with the student life team to drive the engagement strategy for FAU students.

• Connect students with a variety of opportunities including Hillel leadership positions, Jewish life on campus, jobs and internships, travel to Israel, Jewish and pro-Israel conferences and more
• Recruit for Alternative Break and Birthright Israel trips

What You'll Bring to the Job

• 0 -2 years' professional work experience
• Bachelors degree
• Strong entrepreneurial spirit. Things may not always go according to plan and you must be willing to take risks and learn your wins as well as your losses
• Confidence initiating and running programs, and comfort asking questions
• Belief that our work isn't done until every Jewish student is connected to Jewish life
• Creative problem-solving
• Excitement to continue developing your own relationship to Judaism and Israel

• Generous allowance and support to design carefully crafted professional development opportunities
• A comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan, Life, AD&D and Long Term Disability (LTD) insurances, Flexible Spending accounts, generous vacation/sick time, and parental leave
• Great professional development, mentoring, and skill building opportunities
