The Jewish Federations of North America (“JFNA”) represents 146 Jewish Federations and over 300 Network communities, which raise more than $3 billion annually for social welfare, social services, and educational needs. The Federation movement, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah, (charity and social justice), chesed (caring and compassion), and Torah (Jewish learning).  Each federation operates as an independent non-profit and range in size from single person shops to 400 person non-profits.

JFNA is looking for someone to join our Strategic Marketing and Communications team as an Associate Producer of Content Creation & Events. This job has a major focus in video editing and production.

At your core, you a storyteller with an impeccable eye for detail. You are able to research and help translate business agendas into creative video content in a variety of forms ranging from substantive video content to lighter social media pieces.

In addition to being a creative visionary, you were also born to organize and you’ve never met a detail that you couldn’t handle. And since you have an innate sense of curiosity, you can identify and flag the loose ends and missing pieces before anyone else mentions them. You know when point A isn’t meeting point B – and you know when you yourself can solve the problem and when you need to bring someone else in to help.

You have the ability to hop on board with the vision and help bring it to life through any medium.

You are a problem-solver that lives up to that role by consistently offering insights, ideas and feedback. 

You are a doer and are very comfortable navigating the ebbs and flows of a stressful situation. 

You are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and can multi-task and meet deadlines. At the same time, you are flexible and willing to adapt to changing circumstances with a professional demeanor.
