Membership Growth & Engagement Coordinator

American Jewish Medical Association (AJMA)

Full-time | Hybrid-Remote | Boston, Hartford, or Washington, DC area.

About AJMA

The American Jewish Medical Association (AJMA) is the only nationwide U.S. organization dedicated to strengthening Jewish life, community, and identity in healthcare. We support Jewish healthcare professionals, physicians, students, and trainees across medicine, nursing, public health, mental health, dentistry, and allied health, while advocating for safety and dignity in the face of rising antisemitism and antizionism.

AJMA is growing and built around its members. As we grow, we are looking for a professional who can help us reach more Jewish healthcare professionals, deepen relationships with those already connected to AJMA, and create a strong and engaged membership community.

Position Overview

AJMA is seeking an outgoing, organized, and relationship-oriented professional to help grow and engage our national membership.

The Membership Growth & Engagement Coordinator will focus on recruiting new members, engaging and retaining existing members, and building relationships with Jewish healthcare professionals and students. The role includes direct outreach, member communications, events, and relationship-building with healthcare institutions, Jewish Employee Resource Groups (JERGs), medical schools, and community partners.
