Director Operations & Events
Corps Team, Atlanta, GA, United States
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
A bipartisan political action committee dedicated to supporting pro-Israel and pro-Jewish elected officials across Georgia. The organization operates at the intersection of advocacy, community engagement, and political action — building lasting relationships between Georgia’s Jewish community and its elected leaders. The organization is in the active growth phase, expanding its programmatic reach, donor base, and legislative impact. Their work is high-stakes and highly visible, and they are looking for someone who is genuinely excited to help build something meaningful from the ground up.
Office located in Atlanta/Sandy Springs, GA area.
Hybrid work arrangement (onsite/remote) with frequent local (Greater Atlanta Area) travel including event-related errands and regular travel to the Georgia State Capitol during legislative session.
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE The organization is a lean, mission-driven organization in an active growth phase — and for now this is its sole staff position. For the right person, that’s not a caveat. It’s the opportunity.
You won’t be handed a playbook. In many cases, you’ll write it. You’ll have real ownership over how systems get built, how events get run, and how the organization presents itself to the world. Leadership is engaged and high-expectation, and will rely on you to keep things moving between touchpoints, flag what needs attention, and bring solutions rather than just problems.
You’ll thrive here if you:
take initiative without being asked, build structure where none exists, stay calm when priorities shift, care deeply about the mission, and find genuine satisfaction in doing whatever it takes to make something run well.
