Director of Engagement at Oregon Hillel

A commitment to diversity and comfort serving as a Jewish role model and mentor

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Oregon Hillel as the Director of Engagement.

As a senior community builder and strategist, you will inspire students to be partners in creating vibrant, welcoming Jewish communities at both the University of Oregon and Oregon State University.

You will drive engagement strategy across two distinct campuses, thinking big while implementing with excellence on a day-to-day basis.

This role is unique in its opportunity to shape Jewish student life across a multi-campus Hillel, balancing vision, relationship-building, and staff leadership while ensuring students on both campuses feel deeply connected to Jewish life.

At the heart of this role is the mission to cultivate meaningful relationships and pathways that connect Jewish students to community, leadership, and purpose.

You will set the strategic direction for engagement at Oregon Hillel, mentor and supervise engagement professionals, and partner with students to ensure Jewish life on campus is inclusive, relevant, and thriving.

Since 1993, the Oregon Hillel Foundation has served as the Jewish home away from home for the 1,600+ Jewish students at the University of Oregon, and as of the fall of 2014, our 500+ Jewish students at Oregon State University. Oregon Hillel is a student-centric and data driven team that is committed to thinking big and being proactive to create new and exciting opportunities to invest in our students' ideas and to empower them to activate their community.

Eugene and Corvallis are truly special places to live:

Eugene is the 2nd largest city in the state of Oregon with a population of 179,000 while Corvallis has a big-city feel with small-town charm and a population of 69,000.

Both Eugene and Corvallis are very livable communities, with excellent medical care, top-notch public schools, a variety of youth sports programs from kindergarten through high school, and interesting and diverse neighborhoods in which to live.

You will be located in the middle of the Willamette Valley, close to the city of Portland, the Oregon coast, the rivers of the high desert of Bend and the Cascade Mountains. Eugene and Corvallis have several riverfront parks and bike paths, access to local hiking, and its proximity to miles of country roads to bicycle draw many of our residents.

Eugene is home to the Oregon Ducks, who field exciting teams in football, baseball, basketball, softball, track and field, and others.  We are known as Track Town USA. Wearing a hat or tee-shirt emblazoned with an Oregon “O” will bring you a “Sco Ducks” from other Duck fans around the world
