ABOUT YOU

You are excited about the mission of Temple Beth Shalom. You love meeting and working with people of all ages—from infants to adults and everyone in between. You are all about systems and processes, and you are excited about making things work better (a plus if your sock drawer is impeccably organized). You can juggle (at least metaphorically). You are decisive and have an intuitive sense about when you need to seek counsel and when you should just make the call.

WHY THIS JOB IS COMPELLING

You will have a unique opportunity to learn how a growing synagogue operates, while becoming a valuable part of the congregational community. You will be exposed to an unusually wide range of people, as well as to the internal infrastructure and operations of a thriving synagogue. A successful candidate will develop a broad set of professional skills, honing them to the level of excellence in a demanding and supportive environment. You will work with an accomplished and diverse team in which each individual is committed to their own rapid development as well as to that of the team.
