Communications & Content Manager

Reports to: Director of Advancement and Community Engagement

About JCP

The Jewish Community Project (JCP) is the Center for Jewish Life in Lower Manhattan-a spiritual, educational, and cultural hub that fosters togetherness, learning, and celebration. With over 300 member families and year-round programming, an exceptional Early Childhood Center, and innovative Hebrew School Project, JCP inspires a vibrant, welcoming downtown community where Jewish life is not only preserved but celebrated with joy, purpose, and pride-today and for generations to come.

With a newly refreshed brand, a website redesign ahead, and plans to build a more sophisticated approach to audience engagement, this is an opportunity to help shape the next phase of JCP's communications.

The Role

We're looking for a creative, hands-on Communications & Content Manager who loves both telling the story and making the story happen: writing the email, creating the social post, capturing the photo or video, and building the campaign.

Working across JCP's programs and departments, you'll own JCP's day-to-day communications while helping move several major initiatives forward.

What You'll Do

• Create compelling content. Write, design, and produce across email, social, web, print, photography, video, and reels, bringing JCP's stories and community to life across channels.
• Own our digital channels. Manage social media, email marketing, website content and optimization, digital campaigns, and the editorial calendar, using performance insights to understand what's working and refine our approach.
• Bring our new brand to life. Support the rollout of JCP's refreshed brand across the organization, translating new guidelines into consistent, engaging communications.
• Help shape our new website. Play a key role in JCP's upcoming website redesign, focusing on content, structure, storytelling, and user experience, in partnership with internal teams and external vendors.
• Build our audience strategy. Help develop and implement an audience segmentation strategy, using clean, well-managed CRM data to support more targeted communications.
• Find the stories happening across JCP. Partner with teams across the organization to surface stories, plan campaigns, and capture key events and community moments.

You’ll Likely Bring

• 3+ years of communications, marketing, content, or related experience, with exceptional writing and editing skills
• Experience creating and managing social, email, and digital content
• Strong visual instincts and comfort creating visual content, including using Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite, basic photography, and video
• Strong project management skills and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• Comfort with CRMs, CMS platforms, and digital analytics; HubSpot experience is a plus

Experience in a nonprofit, community, education, or Jewish organization is helpful but not required.

Work Environment

This is a full-time, hybrid position based in Tribeca, with three days per week in the office. General hours are 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Some evening, weekend, and Jewish holiday event coverage is required, with working hours adjusted accordingly.

• Salary: $70,000-$80,000, commensurate with experience. This is a full-time, salaried, exempt position.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plan, parental leave, FSA, pre-tax transit benefit, short-term and long-term disability insurance, and tuition discount.
• Time Off: 2 weeks PTO, sick days, 10 US holidays, and a number of Jewish holidays.

JCP is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
