The Jewish Board’s Marketing & Communications Department creates a positive public perception of our agency’s mental health and social service programs with a broad audience of stakeholders – including current and potential clients, client referral sources, donors, employees, volunteers, and the media – to help New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds get the support and care they need.

Our Jewish Services Marketing Specialist will work to educate and activate prospective and current clients across the different groups of the Jewish community by marketing our services geared to Jewish people. A particular focus will be on growing the audience of Here Now, an online and in-person resource that raises mental health awareness among Jewish teens, with both the teens and their parents.

The Specialist role is about more than just marketing—it’s about connecting people with critical support, uplifting communities, and making a real difference in their lives. Working directly with our Jewish Services program and the Marketing team, the Specialist will develop strategic written and visual marketing content for Here Now and other key programs that fall under our Jewish Services division. The Specialist will be instrumental in implementing those campaigns, reporting on the outcomes, and providing ongoing insights into how to strengthen their effectiveness.

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in the mental health field, an understanding of the different types of Jewish faith and culture across New York City, and a solid grasp of digital and traditional marketing techniques to effectively position our programs to their target audiences.
