Program Operations Coordinator
Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation
Who We Are
Working at Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation means joining a lean, dynamic team committed to strengthening rabbinic leadership and supporting a thriving Jewish future. Atra equips rabbis with practical tools, adaptive strategies, and community support to meet the evolving needs of the Jewish world. Through cohort-based programs, learning initiatives, and field-building work, we help rabbis lead with vision, resilience, and impact.
As an organization, we are in a period of growth and evolution, expanding our role not only as a provider of high-quality programs, but as a connector, convener, and catalyst within the broader rabbinic ecosystem. Our work increasingly integrates programs, partnerships, research, and innovation to support the field as a whole.
Atra is fiscally sponsored by Hillel International. Our team is primarily based in the New York City area, with a hybrid work model that includes regular in-person collaboration and occasional travel.
Position
The Program Operations Coordinator plays a central role in supporting the execution of Atra’s programs. This role ensures that the logistics, communications, and systems behind our programmatic offerings run smoothly and effectively.
This role supports a diverse portfolio of work across Atra’s core priorities, including cohort-based programs, convenings, working groups, and emerging initiatives, helping ensure consistency, coordination, and high-quality execution across the organization.
This role is well suited for someone who enjoys making complex work come together behind the scenes. Your work helps ensure that program timelines stay on track, participant communications are clear and timely, and the day-to-day operations of programs are organized and well-executed.
This is a hybrid NYC-based role (2+ days per week in person at our Midtown NYC office), with occasional evening events and light travel for programs and convenings.
Who You Are

In this role, you will thrive in a fast-moving environment where strong systems and thoughtful coordination help programs run smoothly. You are comfortable managing logistics, tracking details, and communicating clearly with participants and team members. You take initiative, follow through, and are willing to roll up your sleeves.
