Job description

At Stephen Wise Temple, communications is about more than promoting programs or sending emails.

If you’re highly organized, enjoy turning ideas into polished communications, and get satisfaction from keeping projects moving and details on track, we’d love to meet you.

Working closely with the Chief Engagement Officer, the Communications Associate helps bring Stephen Wise to life across email, web, social media, and print.

You’ll build communications, coordinate projects and deadlines, maintain digital content, and make sure great ideas actually get out the door. You’ll also help us find smarter, more efficient ways to work—including thoughtful use of AI and emerging technology.

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate with departments across the Temple to keep projects moving.
• Improve workflows, templates, and systems that make collaboration easier.
• Use AI and emerging tools to streamline work and strengthen communications.

We’re Probably a Great Fit If You…

• Have 2–5 years of experience in communications, marketing, project coordination, or a related field.
• Are an excellent writer, editor, and proofreader.
• Are highly organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
• Have strong attention to detail, judgment, and follow-through.
• Enjoy collaborating, solving problems, and thinking a step ahead.
• Are comfortable learning new technology and digital platforms.
• Have familiarity with Jewish communal life—or genuine enthusiasm for learning.
