Manager, Hub Expansion

About

Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world. We believe that service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. By 2030, Repair will catalyze one million acts of service toward repairing the world.

Repair is building a Jewish service movement. We mobilize young adults to serve in their communities, catalyze service through deep partnerships within Jewish communal organizations, and inspire people to take action through time-bound thematic national service campaigns. Our mission provides volunteers with an increased connection to meaningful service and learning as a Jewish value, builds capacity for nonprofit partners to meet their missions, and deepens connections across lines of difference.

Position Overview

Repair the World is growing our national footprint. In addition to our Repair communities, we are embedding service-focused staff within existing Jewish engagement organizations such as JCCs, Hillels, Federations, and synagogues. Those embedded staff will bring volunteering to the center of their host organization's work, deepening Jewish identity and building the Jewish service movement community by community.

The Manager, Hub Expansion will be the connective tissue between Repair's national vision and the partners, embedded staff, and local champions who make it real on the ground. This is a hands-on role: you'll work directly with individual partners and Repair’s embedded staff to ensure new models take root, while also facilitating the cohort as a whole — creating space for best practices to travel across sites and communities. You bring warmth, credibility, and the operational follow-through to make this work succeed.

The Manager, Hub Expansion will report to the Senior Director, National Expansion Strategy. This is a full-time, exempt position with preference for candidates living in a Repair the World community (Atlanta, Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Orange County, New York).
