Job description

The Assistant Director of Community Advocacy is a dynamic, externally facing role that helps advance the Buffalo Jewish Federation's community relations, advocacy, and antisemitism response efforts. Working closely with the Senior Director of Communications, Federation volunteer leaders, and community partners, this professional will coordinate key initiatives, cultivate relationships across government and the broader community, develop educational resources, and help ensure the Federation responds thoughtfully and effectively to emerging issues.

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on position for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and turning ideas into action. Success requires exceptional organization, strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Because relationships are built face-to-face, this position requires regular attendance at community meetings, public events, and Federation programs, including weekday evenings, Sundays, and some travel.
