How to Apply for Coordinator Flexible (within the US)

at AJC

🏢 About AJC

AJC is a global advocacy organization dedicated to protecting Jewish communities and Israel worldwide. With offices in over 40 locations and partnerships in 110+ countries, it offers a unique opportunity to work on high-impact international issues from a remote US-based role. Employees are part of a mission-driven team that influences governments, businesses, and communities.

About This Role

As a Coordinator Flexible, you will provide essential administrative and project support to AJC's Regional Offices, enabling the team to execute advocacy initiatives and engage local leaders. This role is critical for maintaining AJC's nationwide presence and ensuring smooth operations across remote teams. You'll handle routine tasks, lead small projects, and contribute directly to the organization's global mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking emails and Slack messages from team members across the US, then updating a project tracker for an upcoming advocacy event. You could spend an hour preparing briefing materials for a regional director, followed by a virtual meeting to coordinate logistics for a donor outreach campaign. Afternoons often involve data entry in the CRM, scheduling follow-ups, and supporting ad-hoc requests from colleagues.
