About Us

Jewish Voice for Peace’s mission is to work with diverse communities across the U.S. to achieve a lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis based on justice, equality, and human rights. As the JVP family of organizations, we are growing, developing and mobilizing a powerful grassroots, multiracial base of Jews toward a future of Judaism beyond Zionism, Palestinian freedom and the end of Israeli apartheid and occupation.

About You

This role is for you if you are a skilled CRM administrator who gets fired up by complex projects that bring innovation; can collaborate effectively to bring meaningful systems and processes to life; and are dedicated to JVP’s mission and theory of change.

About the Role

The Senior Data Manager will administer JVP’s CRM in order to support the programmatic (Organizing, Campaigns, Communications) and fundraising work of the organization. They will do this primarily by managing JVP’s CRM (EveryAction), and helping skill up our staff as needed to scale our digital organizing and fundraising presence, and support the entire JVP staff to become confident users of technology. 

This person will closely coordinate with all of our staff to help diagnose any problems or gaps, and suggest changes to JVP’s technology that supports the programmatic and fundraising work of the organization. The Senior Data Manager must bring an informed perspective of what’s possible with the current CRM – and JVP’s budget – to deliver better results in the future. 

The Senior Data Manager will also help the Digital Director to establish and set the vision for a cross-departmental digital team that will drive innovation that enhances overall member, volunteer, donor, and organizer experiences. 

We need a creative thinker with a passion for improving processes. The Data Manager will be skilled at interpreting people’s needs and is able to use that in finding the fundamental problem, applying a tech or process-based solution, and communicating that solution to the rest of staff simply and clearly.

We want to use technology to its full potential to achieve our mission, and need a skilled and visionary Data Manager to help us maximize our impact with digital tools.

This means we assess candidates on how well they strategise and communicate on relevant work. When you click on the link you will be taken to an external site to start your application. You will be required to upload a CV or resume and will be asked several questions that will be related to the role you are applying for. The hiring committee will not have access to your CV/resume or any identifying information until you have been invited to a first round interview, and will make those initial decisions based on your answers to the initial set of questions. There is no requirement to submit a cover letter.

JVP values diversity and inclusion and the benefits this brings. We aim to appoint the most suitable candidates at all times and welcome applications from people from all different backgrounds.
