About the Marketing & Creative Team

The Marketing & Creative Team serves as an in-house creative agency, serving Jewish Federations of North America and 146 local Federations. We are at the hub of a fast-paced, innovative organization bringing brand strategy, creative direction, marketing strategy, design, copy, and video production to our audiences. The work we do is impactful and meaningful - and we are looking for superstars to ideate and create with us!

We know that projects can come our way in many forms, and we’re always up for the challenge of creating order from chaos.

Who You Are

We are looking for a creative leader. A communicator. An organizer. A storyteller.

You are an expert on the various mediums through which one can communicate – from video to social to live events.

Your writing goes beyond just specs, and you can brilliantly translate marketing and branding strategies and concepts into innovative, compelling, and impressive video and event experiences that inspire.

You enjoy the idea of working on a small but mighty team and you love the idea of working on projects that are vast and impactful - from making a change on the ground in Israel, to advocacy, and beyond.

At your core, you are a storyteller. The one who can find stories in any moment and experience. The one who can’t help but tell it.

Whether you’re writing or producing - you know the story you’re looking to tell and you won’t stop until you’re able to tell it.

You hold both right and left brains at the center - an organized, creative visionary. You’ve never met a detail that you couldn’t meet. You are a problem-solver and innovator. You appreciate the role of a good process - and can help build it!

You are inspired by possibility and the “what could be.” You work hard to bring new ideas to the tables at which you sit, the ones people aren’t even bringing up.

You know how to listen very well to what someone means to say rather than what they are literally saying.

You are curious - and you know how to ask great questions.
