IACT & Greek Life Experience Specialist

Hillel at Arizona State University

Role Overview

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Hillel at Arizona State University as the IACT (Inspired, Active, Committed, Transformed) & Greek Life Experience Specialist. At Arizona State University—home to 3,500+ Jewish students and recognized as the nation’s most innovative university for nine years—your work will meet students where they are, sparking curiosity and building accessible pathways to Jewish engagement through Birthright Israel and Greek Life engagement.

With 85% of ASU’s Jewish students reporting little prior connection to Jewish life, the opportunities for impact are immense. You will be integral to Hillel’s success as you champion our Birthright Israel immersive program and Greek life initiatives that inspire and engage hundreds of students each year.

This is primarily a student-facing role with moderate other responsibilities, designed so that you can drive our Greek Life and Birthright Israel strategy forward, while sitting on campus 80% of the time. At ASU Hillel, every student’s journey is sacred, and every interaction is an opportunity to inspire vibrant Jewish lives. This is more than a job—it’s a mission to shape the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
