Program and Operations Associate – Task Force on Arab Citizens of Israel

Program and Operations Associate – Task Force on Arab Citizens of Israel

About Us

The Task Force on Arab Citizens of Israel was created in 2006 by a coalition of major American Jewish organizations and philanthropies as a nonpartisan educational resource on Arab citizens and Jewish-Arab relations in Israel. A membership organization, the Task Force quickly grew into a coalition of more than 100 organizations committed to making Arab/Palestinian citizens a mainstream concern of the North American Jewish community.

Our activities in Israel include educational program development for American Jewish funding organizations, educational tour groups, and communal audiences; training leaders seeking to share their experiences with American Jewish audiences; and strengthening our network of Arab civil society, shared society, and other leaders working across local and national arenas.

What are we looking for?

The Task Force is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Program and Operations Associate to support and grow our work fostering informed and meaningful connection opportunities between American Jewish constituencies and leaders and organizations working with Arab citizens and shared society pursuits in Israel.

This is a multifaceted role combining hands-on operations and logistics with thoughtful program development that includes potential for professional growth as the work expands.

The ideal candidate excels in managing nonprofit operations, administration, and event logistics, and is excited by the opportunity to educate and connect American Jewish communities with Arab citizens of Israel. This position is suited for candidates who understand how well-run operations support effective programs and strategy and who is eager to grow skills across both areas.
