• Work closely with the Director of Digital Strategy to implement and continually strengthen NCJW’s social media strategy, voice, audience growth, and engagement.
• Translate complex policy, advocacy, and organizational priorities into clear, compelling, social-first content designed for how people actually consume information online.
• Spot the moments when NCJW should jump into the conversation — from breaking news and Jewish communal moments to cultural conversations and emerging social trends.
• Exercise strong editorial judgment about when and how NCJW should enter conversations, balancing speed, creativity, accuracy, organizational voice, and strategic priorities.
• Maintain a consistent and recognizable NCJW voice while adapting content appropriately for different platforms and audiences.
• Create compelling, social-first content that feels native to the platform — including graphics, carousels, photography, live content, short-form video, and whatever format comes next.

• Strong understanding of social media platforms, audiences, algorithms, trends, online culture, and the different ways people engage across channels.
• Demonstrated experience creating social-first content, particularly short-form video, and comfort appearing on camera as an organizational representative.
• Experience with community management and a strong instinct for building authentic relationships with audiences, partners, influencers, and other accounts online.
• Strong news judgment and the ability to identify when an organization should enter — or stay out of — fast-moving online conversations.
• Familiarity with social media management, design, video editing, and analytics tools.
• A deep appreciation for the history and lived practices within Jewish tradition, culture, identities, community, and the issues and diverse communities for which NCJW advocates.
