How to Apply for Digital Editorial Coordinator

at Jewish Voice for Peace

🏢 About Jewish Voice for Peace

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a unique grassroots movement of U.S. Jews in solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, operating as both a 501(c)(4) for advocacy and a 501(c)(3) for educational work. Its mission-driven focus on justice, equality, and dignity offers a rare chance to align your work with deeply held values in a rapidly growing organization.

About This Role

As Digital Editorial Coordinator, you'll be the hands-on executor of JVP's email and text messaging program—loading, building, and sending communications with precision and timeliness. Your work directly amplifies the movement's voice, mobilizing supporters for legislative campaigns and educational initiatives.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day starts by checking the email calendar and prioritizing sends. You'll spend hours in ActionKit building emails from templates, testing links and mobile views, and coordinating with campaign staff on copy. After sending, you'll monitor open rates and click-throughs, troubleshoot any issues, and prepare the next day's batch.
