Doppelt Director of Engagement at Northwestern Hillel

Doppelt Director of Engagement Northwestern Hillel Role Overview Make a difference in Jewish student life by joining Northwestern Hillel as the Doppelt Director of Engagement. In this role, you will lead Hillel’s strategies for reaching Jewish students across campus (including those not yet engaged in Jewish life), build authentic one-on-one relationships with students, and design and oversee immersive experiences. As the Doppelt Director of Engagement, you will support students' exploration of Judaism and encourage their understanding of Jewish values as relevant to their lives as they enrich their campus, community, and world. Reporting to the Director of Student Life, you will develop and execute a sophisticated, data-informed strategy to map the Northwestern campus and make Jewish life compelling and accessible to the full diversity of Jewish students. Our work is grounded in a set of communal values — among them hachnasat orchim (welcoming), simcha (joy) and machloket l'shem shamayim (the pursuit of honest, respectful disagreement) — and this role is central to bringing those values to life for students. You will work across teams, supervise direct reports, and serve as a thought partner to engagement professionals throughout the organization.
