Role Overview

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Trinity Hillel as the Program Manager.

As the Program Manager at Trinity Hillel, you will develop and implement meaningful cultural, religious, spiritual and intellectual programming that allows students to explore their Jewish identities and grow as leaders.

• Manage all aspects of programming including ordering food, making room reservations, recruiting students for set up and clean up, and ensuring that Hillel events are listed in the college calendar. Enter all engagement data into the Hillel International CRM in a timely manner.
