About the role
At BBYO, our mission drives everything we do, and it pushes us to make work fun, flexible, and fulfilling.

In this role, you’ll lead a talented staff team, mentor teen leaders, and run the budgets and calendars behind hundreds of Jewish teen experiences each year. You’ll also take a lead role in NRE’s Regional Convention, which is the second-largest convention in the BBYO Movement and draws more than 550 teens every year.
Alongside your teammates, you’ll connect in a dynamic environment and create a positive impact on teens, our community, and the world.
