Director of Marketing

Lubavitch International Magazine

Lubavitch International is a print and digital publication exploring the breadth and depth of traditional Jewish learning and values, both on their own terms and as they illuminate the issues facing society at large. Through long-form essays, personal narratives, reported articles, and poetry, we seek to offer a thoughtful, nuanced perspective on Jewish faith and practice, alongside news from the global Chabad network. The magazine also aims to generate new ideas, engaging with the most pressing questions confronting modern Jewish life and helping to inform and shape the perspectives of Chabad shluchim around the world.

Lubavitch International is seeking a Director of Marketing to develop and implement a comprehensive marketing and publicity strategy that will attract new readers, deepen relationships with existing readers, and strengthen the magazine’s position as an important voice in conversations about the future of American Jewish life.

This is a part-time, hands-on role for someone who is energetic and comfortable working independently. Reporting to the magazine’s editorial team, the Director of Marketing will be responsible for high-level marketing and content strategy, audience development, networking, and social media management. The ideal candidate will be both a strategic thinker and an energetic go-getter: someone who can develop a vision for growing the magazine’s reach and then make it happen.

Familiarity with Chabad and the broader Jewish media landscape is preferred, but the most important qualifications are a strong appreciation for the magazine, excellent judgment, professionalism, and initiative. While the position is remote, candidates should be able to travel to Chabad Headquarters in Brooklyn for occasional meetings and events as needed.
