Now in our second decade, JYC is at a critical point of organizational growth. Since the current war began on October 7th, the world’s eyes and ears are on our singers like never before. We have performed on the national platforms America’s Got Talent and TED, recordings which have received over 5 million views in just one month, and recently released a new single on Spotify. We have a critical opportunity to amplify our message for peace and to demonstrate that there is a proven alternative to violence. Now is the time for JYC to seize this moment and scale our programming to other locations in Jerusalem, and eventually across the broader Israel-Palestine.
Thanks to an incredibly generous anonymous donor, JYC is able to hire our first ever tri-lingual communications team. We are looking for an individual or team who can provide communications strategy and expertise in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, primarily focused on social and digital media. This individual or team will work closely with JYC’s US- and Jerusalem-based staff to accomplish the following goals in the next 12 months:
- Increase our Instagram followers by 56% from the current 5,769 to 9,000
- Increase our Facebook followers by 70% from the current 4,379 to 7,500
- Develop our new TikTok account
- Cultivate and maintain our Patreon account
- Strategize and implement our email communications and meaningfully increase our mailing list while maintaining our currently high open and click-thru rates
- Maintain consistent messaging that is strategically segmented across platforms
- Collaborate with our fundraising staff on online fundraisers and development efforts
You will be asked to drive the content strategy for JYC’s social media platforms with staff and intern support both in the US and on-the-ground in Jerusalem. Authentically representing JYC’s voice and mission is of the utmost importance while driving traffic to our website and collaborating with our fundraising staff to eventually convert social media engagement to revenue.
This is a contract position estimated at a total of 20 hours/week. We have a budget of $50,000 USD for this team for the year. The work schedule and location are flexible, but the successful candidate(s) will be able to hold some availability for video meetings during normal business hours in the US (Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm EST) and Jerusalem (Sunday - Thursday).
