ABOUT JWI

Jewish Women International (JWI), one of the original American Jewish organizations, is the leading Jewish organization working to empower women and girls – of every race, culture, gender identity, and sexual orientation – by ensuring and protecting their safety, building access to long-term economic security, and lifting and mentoring women leaders.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPACT

JWI addresses the cycle of violence against women and girls through three pillars of work: gender-based violence, economic security, and women’s leadership. When women can live in safe homes and healthy relationships; when we have control over our finances; and when we have women leaders supporting each other and building workplaces that are safe and equitable, we will live in a world where women may thrive.

Now in our 125th year, JWI is uniquely poised for growth. Responding to our 2021 research report assessing the unmet needs of Jewish survivors and the domestic violence programs serving the Jewish community, JWI launched the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence in the Jewish Community and the Collaborative of Jewish Domestic Violence Programs and the Women’s Financial Empowerment Institute. Our leadership programs engage young professional women in D.C., New York, Chicago, Denver, L.A., Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego. We are now launching similar networks for women over 35.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a dynamic financial educator to lead JWI’s work to empower young women, at the beginning of their careers with confidence and competence in personal finance. We believe that when a woman controls her money, she controls her future — money brings power and agency and options.This is an exciting opportunity to build a dynamic and engaging culture, combining in-person and virtual workshops and using social media to build community and financial empowerment for women in their 20s. This position works closely with the Young Women’s Impact Network and reports to JWI’s Chief Program Officer and CEO.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing and updating current financial fitness programs, and developing new curricula

  • Developing content and facilitating ongoing financial literacy workshops and bootcamps for Young Women’s Impact Networks (YWIN);

  • Where needed, manage and hire consultants for financial literacy workshops;

  • Ensuring adhesion to grant requirements and writing grant reports for all financial education projects funded through grants; and

  • Working with JWI’s communications staff to build community around a culture of financial empowerment via slack, Instagram, TikTok, et al.

  • We are looking for someone who cares about this work and has the kind of personality that makes others feel excited about taking control of personal finances. We will provide additional financial education certification and training if needed.

QUALIFICATIONS

JWI recognizes that far too often women, trans, and non-binary people, as well as other structurally marginalized groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. If the work and possibilities described above excite you, we encourage you to apply.

The successful candidate:

  • Is confident when engaging in personal finance

  • Has professional experience working in and/or teaching personal finance, a plus;

  • Is an engaging workshop facilitator;

  • Has experience writing curricula and designing programs;

  • Is a creative professional who is excited by the opportunity to build something new;

  • Understands the connection between financial literacy and long-term safety and security for women.

COMPENSATION

Salary is $70,000 - 80,000/year commensurate with experience.

JWI offers a competitive benefits package, and a fast paced, purpose-driven, and collaborative and supportive work environment.
