The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) seeks an Engagement Coordinator to assist in the expansion and maintenance of the Survivor Speakers Bureau (SSB), a growing initiative featuring a vast database of Holocaust survivors who want to tell their vital stories and the audiences who want to hear them.

The Engagement Coordinators will work in close cooperation with the Manager, Strategic Initiatives, to enhance the database, which will involve analysis and input of data provided by survivors and institutions; networking with Holocaust survivor agencies, Holocaust and Jewish museums, synagogues, and public and private schools; relationship-building with survivors themselves who are available to tell their stories via Zoom, and event planning/follow-up with institutions.

This is a dynamic position which will include significant communication via email, phone, and in person on occasion.

Tasks/Responsibilities:

• Maintain a dynamic database of Holocaust survivors and their stories;
• Help organizations, schools, and social groups find survivors for events based on their individual desires and requests;
• Conduct outreach to organizations, institutions, agencies and survivors to meet their needs;
• Perform data entry in SSB system;
• Gain a basic or better knowledge—or utilize a prior knowledge—of the Holocaust to improve the efficacy of the SSB.

Qualifications:

• College degree required;
• 1-2 years of work experience preferred;
• Ability to work independently;
• Organized and detail oriented;
• Work well in a team setting;
• Comfortable adapting to a sophisticated, back-end system;
