Hillel BC is seeking a dedicated and dynamic Advocacy Director to support Jewish students across British Columbia. As part of our team, you'll champion the needs of Jewish students, nurture leadership, and help build strong connections within both the Jewish and broader communities. You'll design and lead initiatives that promote Jewish identity, advocacy, and engagement while collaborating with campus administrators, faculty, and community partners. If you're passionate about making an impact, inspiring student leaders, and strengthening Jewish life on campuses, we invite you to join Hillel BC's vibrant community.

As the Advocacy Director, you'll be at the forefront of Hillel BC's advocacy efforts, helping Jewish students engage with the challenges and opportunities they face on campuses throughout the province. You'll work closely with students, empowering them to advocate effectively, and partner with Jewish and pro-Israel organizations to advance shared goals. This role is both proactive and responsive, ensuring that Jewish student voices are heard, and that issues like antisemitism are addressed with strong, coordinated efforts.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement a comprehensive advocacy strategy across BC campuses, fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect.
  • Mentor and support student leaders, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to lead advocacy efforts and make a lasting impact.
  • Collaborate with other Jewish and Israel-focused groups to align advocacy efforts and build strong community partnerships, promoting a unified voice for Jewish students.
  • Engage and elevate students' voices through learning opportunities, campaigns, and events, ensuring their perspectives are heard and valued.
  • Monitor and respond to antisemitic or anti-Zionist incidents on campuses, ensuring proper reporting and action, and promoting a safe and inclusive environment.
  • Build relationships with university administrators, faculty, and key campus organizations, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment that promotes Jewish student success.
What You'll Bring

You're a strategic thinker and relationship builder, with a passion for advocacy and Jewish life. You understand the unique challenges facing Jewish students and are skilled at leading both proactive and reactive advocacy campaigns. You thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and are committed to supporting students as they navigate complex issues.

Qualifications
  • Undergraduate degree in a relevant field (Master's degree preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience in Jewish or Israel-related advocacy.
  • Proven leadership and mentorship experience, especially in advocacy or community organizing.
  • Familiarity with university administration and campus life, particularly in advocacy or political engagement.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Skills and Abilities
  • Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects under tight deadlines.
  • Experience with social media and community engagement.
  • Ability to stay calm and think clearly during times of crisis or heightened pressure.
  • High energy, flexibility, and a collaborative spirit.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary ranging between $70,000 - $80,000 annually.
  • Generous vacation, wellness, and sick leave, plus Jewish and statutory holidays.
  • Receive a $500 CAD wellness package to support your physical and mental well-being.
  • Enjoy a fully covered transit pass or parking pass to make your commute easier and more convenient.
  • The chance to make a tangible, lasting impact on Jewish students and communities in BC.
  • A supportive network of colleagues within Hillel BC and the broader Hillel movement.
