Lead Campus Professional at Simon Fraser University (SFU)

Lead Campus Professional- Simon Fraser University (SFU) Hillel BC Purpose of the Role The Lead Campus Professional at Simon Fraser University is Hillel BC's primary presence on a campus where Jewish student life is still taking shape. This role exists to build relationships, foster community, and empower students to explore their Jewish identities in a welcoming and inclusive environment. The Lead Campus Professional meets students where they are—in residence halls, campus spaces, and everyday moments—and helps them create meaningful experiences rooted in Jewish culture, tradition, and connection. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role suited to someone energized by one-on-one relationship building, comfortable working independently, and committed to creating something meaningful from the ground up. You will be the first face many students see when they're looking for connection, and your work will help students feel at home, take initiative, and grow as leaders. How the Role Fits The Lead Campus Professional reports to the Director of Student Life and works closely with Hillel BC's programming and operations teams to ensure students at SFU are supported and engaged. This role is primarily campus-based, with the majority of time spent at SFU and occasional presence required at other mainland campuses including Langara and Emily Carr. The Lead Campus Professional does not manage staff but collaborates with students and colleagues to develop programs, build community, and bring the student voice into Hillel BC's broader work.
