City Connector

About the role

Mem Global is where Jewish young adults in their 20s and early 30s come to connect, explore, and create meaningful Jewish experiences with their peers. As the umbrella brand for our global suite of programs, Mem Global supports young adults as they bring Judaism to life through thousands of peer-driven gatherings across 25+ countries each year. We're all about creating spaces where Jewish young adults can lead, embrace, learn, and build the kind of community that will build a strong and vibrant Jewish future for all of us. In partnership with the One8 Foundation, Mem Global is launching an exciting new pilot program in two U.S. cities, designed to help young, unengaged Jewish adults connect with one another through exciting local experiences and curated social events. The idea is to meet young Jews (22-32 years old) where they are using low-pressure, fun-first social experiences that provide avenues for Jewish young adults to genuinely connect with peers and make new friends. The program is informed by deep consumer research conducted with unengaged Jewish young adults across more than a dozen U.S. cities. This research revealed a clear and urgent unmet need: making friends as an adult is hard, and existing Jewish institutions are not seen as relevant, welcoming, or culturally resonant by the majority of this audience. We believe that the challenge of making friends as an adult is real - and that Jewish connection can be a powerful, often underutilized, accelerant for that. This program is a direct response to what we heard. We are on a mission to help young, unaffiliated Jewish or "Jew-ish" adults find community, friendship, meaning, and joy in Jewish spaces. We are looking for a City Connector to bring the pilot to life on the ground in their city. You will be the face of the program in your city. You will design and run creative, social-first events and experiences for unengaged Jewish young adults who may not be actively seeking Jewish friends- but are open to it if it feels right. Think intimate group dinners at trendy local restaurants, group gatherings built around shared interests, and unique social experiences that make connection feel easy and natural. Over time, the goal is to build a thriving social club in your city: a diverse, recurring roster of events and experiences that young, Jew-ish adults genuinely want to be part of. This role requires equal parts creativity, hustle, analytical thinking, and genuine warmth. If you are energized by building something new, love getting out there and meeting people, and care deeply about helping young Jews find their people - read on. This role reports to the Associate Director, Social Innovation and Strategy.

Responsibilities

• Community Networking and Relationship Building
• Be a visible, active presence in your city's Jewish young adult ecosystem - and beyond. Attend local events, build relationships, and become genuinely well-networked among the population you are trying to reach.
• Identify and cultivate relationships with young community-builders, social connectors, and local influencers who have broad networks and can help reach unengaged Jewish young adults.
• Proactively source prospective participants and prospective peer leaders, building a pipeline of "regulars" who can become promoters ambassadors, and advocates for the program.
• Identify and develop partnerships with local venues, brands, and organizations that can help host, sponsor and amplify program experiences.
• Event/Experience Design and Execution
• Design, plan, and execute creative, engaging local experiences that help Jew-ish young adults meet each other and connect in ways that feel fun, natural, and judgment-free.
• Ground design decisions in what we know about our target audience - including insights from our consumer research - to lower barriers, reduce social risk, and make first-time participation feel easy and worth it.
• Launch and run small-group dinner experiences (modeled on the Table for Eight concept, which tested strongly in our research) that bring 6-8 young adults together at trendy local restaurants for a low-pressure social experience.
• Build out a broader events calendar over time - including a rich variety of activity-based gatherings, social experiences, and community hangouts - that serves as a "home base" social club network for Jew-ish young adults in your city.
• Ensure that event volume and participant targets meet pilot projections and timelines.
• Program Management and Administration
• Own all event logistics from start to finish, including: venue sourcing and coordination, registration and RSVP systems, day-of execution, and post-event follow-up.
• Develop and maintain efficient, participant-friendly registration and communication systems.
• Manage your local program budget responsibly, tracking costs and flagging issues proactively to ensure the program runs efficiently within allocated resources.
• Maintain organized, accurate records of event d
