Role Overview
Claremont Hillel is seeking an Engagement Coordinator who is passionate about building relationships with students and creating meaningful Jewish experiences across the Claremont Colleges.

At its heart, the role is about helping students connect with Jewish life, with one another, and with a community that feels like their own.
What You’ll Do
- Build authentic one-on-one and small-group relationships with students from a wide range of backgrounds.
- Serve as a mentor, listener, and trusted Jewish role model.

- Creating Shabbat experiences, holiday celebrations, social programs, retreats, leadership opportunities, and micro-programming.
On a day to day basis you will
- Work alongside students and colleagues to imagine and deliver Jewish experiences that are relevant, creative, and memorable.
- Craft and help implement the annual cycle of Jewish holiday and Shabbat programming. This extends from regular meals, to social events, and challah bakes.
- Coordinate, advise, and partner with student leaders and other student volunteers to design and implement programming of interest to support wellness, campus life, social impact, social connectivity, Jewish learning, and more.
- Organize program logistics, spaces, vendors, supplies, food, and other event needs.
- Support program and event budgets and administration in partnership with Hillel leadership.
- Contribute to social media and other communications.
- Help maintain organizational calendars and coordinate a busy schedule of student and community programs.

- Can move comfortably between big-picture thinking and logistical details.
- Are an engaging communicator, both in person and in writing.
- Enjoy building systems and finding better ways to organize work.
- Are comfortable learning technology, databases, and engagement-tracking tools.
- Can manage multiple projects and priorities without losing sight of relationships.
- Enjoy collaborating but are also comfortable taking ownership and moving projects forward.
- Bring creativity, flexibility, humor, and good judgment to a fast-moving environment.
- Are comfortable working occasional evenings and weekends for Shabbat, holidays, retreats, and student programs.
You don't need to arrive knowing how to do every part of the job. We're looking for someone with strong relationship-building instincts, initiative, organizational ability, and a desire to grow.
What You’ll Receive
- Competitive salary in the nonprofit marketplace. The salary range for this role is $48,000 - $53,000
- A benefits package, including health insurance reimbursement and retirement matching opportunities.
- A flexible work schedule with generous vacation and sick leave
- Great professional development, mentoring, and skill building opportunities
If you're energized by the idea of combining relationship-building, Jewish creativity, program coordination, and community engagement, we'd love to hear from you.
