Who We Are

Working at Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation means becoming part of a lean, effective, pluralistic and inquisitive team passionate about visionary spiritual leadership and promoting a thriving Jewish future. Atra empowers rabbis to lead with vision and meet the ever-evolving needs of the Jewish people as they drive transformational change for the Jewish community. Atra advances the field of rabbinic leadership through rigorous research, vibrant communities of practice, innovative fellowships and Atra Academy, which offers applied professional training and support for Jewish clergy.

We have had exponential growth in our programs and reach over the past few years, and are entering the last year of our 3-year strategic plan. We are growing as a central platform and network to train and support visionary leadership, career growth, and adaptive practice among rabbinic leaders from every background and denomination while serving as a conduit for evidence-based research and catalyst for impactful programmatic interventions in the field of rabbinic leadership. 

Atra is proudly incubated in Assembly (previously known as the Office of Innovation) and fiscally sponsored by Hillel International. This means that while we are not a program of Hillel, Hillel International serves as Atra’s administrative “home.” Atra employees are part of Hillel International’s payroll and benefits program. Our central headquarters are in New York City, and our national team works remotely, with occasional gatherings in-person. Our program team is proximal to New York City, with weekly in-person time in our central offices. 

Position

The Program Coordinator is a vital role within our organization, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Programs.

• Monitor and report on program progress and outcomes, providing insights and recommendations for continuous improvement.
• Serve as a point of contact for program participants and alumni, addressing inquiries and providing support to ensure a positive and impactful experience.

Qualifications
