Who We Are:

Mem Global is where Jewish young adults in their 20s and early 30s come to connect, explore, and create meaningful Jewish experiences with their peers (yes, there’s probably food involved). As the umbrella brand for our global suite of programs, Mem Global supports young adults as they bring Judaism to life through thousands of peer-driven gatherings across 25+ countries each year. We’re all about creating spaces where Jewish young adults can learn, lead, and build the kind of community that feels like family.

Mem Global is searching for a Global Retreats and Community Manager in the UK or Central Europe region to manage and enable our community builders to be leaders in creating meaningful, welcoming experiences that serve the young adult Jewish community in their city. The Global Retreats and Community Manager is a member of the Resident Support team and is typically responsible for supporting 18 Pods and 36 community builders. They work to achieve program goals by recruiting new community builders, tracking KPI metrics for their Moishe Pods, connecting residents to resources and additional Mem Global opportunities, and developing a strong knowledge base about young adult life in their regional communities. This individual will also support Retreats on the Immersives side.
