New York Solidarity Network (NYSN) is a New York-based 501(c)4 membership organization that works to promote the American alliance with Israel and the tight-knit relationship the majority of New Yorkers, including Jewish New Yorkers, have with Israel. NYSN's members receive recommendations about how they can further advance our mission. NYSN is searching for a Community Manager who will execute strategic and effective member advocacy. We are looking for someone with experience and organizational skills who will support a team of seasoned operatives, consultants, and an active board of directors.
NYSN, founded in 2022, empowers elected and civil leaders while expressing solidarity with the Jewish community/Israel and creates a strong and sustainable donor network among our members to support the leaders, organizations, committees, and charities who align with our values.
NYSN makes numerous philanthropic recommendations to our members and provides an easy, accessible way to help pro-Israel voters and donors make an informed decision about who they would support in an election based on their values. New York's primary elections are typically low turnout contests and are decided by incredibly small margins (less than a hundred votes in many cases), and this means even a small number of voters or donors or activists can make a tremendous impact.

Working with the Executive Director to develop the organization's political plans, goals, and priorities.
Supporting the Board of Directors and Executive Director in meetings and with scheduling.

Engaging with member-supported elected officials, civic leaders, candidates and their team members.
Maintaining social media presence.
Pursuing and developing strategic partnerships in coordination with ED and NYSN Board.
Creating and facilitating virtual cohort/affinity group spaces for mobilization, organizing, and advocacy.
Monitoring developments in the national and New York political landscape.
Assisting with fundraising events.
Representing NYSN at meetings and events in keeping with the organization’s mission, values, and reputation.
The ideal candidate has:
A minimum of 4 years of advocacy/political/campaign/organizing experience.
Experience managing field programs and developing field plans.
Campaign Management and/or Finance Director experience is a plus.
Basic understanding of New York State and City campaign finance laws is a plus.
A firm understanding of the role of a state and local legislator.
A history of pro-Israel advocacy.
A commitment to upholding the IHRA definition of antisemitism, including the bedrock principle of anti-Zionism falling into the category of antisemitic behavior.
Expert working knowledge of Twitter/X and other social media.
Deep working knowledge of Act Blue, Zoom, and Microsoft Office (VAN, ThruText a plus).
An understanding of the New York political landscape.
Ability to multitask, manage multiple projects, plan backward, anticipate obstacles, troubleshoot, and make smart judgment calls as needed in a fast-paced and changeable environment.
Ability to communicate effectively and to work both independently and collaboratively in a remote situation.
Benefits and Compensation
Dental, medical, and vision insurance.
Health Savings Account with maximum employer contribution.
Generous PTO program.
