JASA Cohort Coach and Coordinator

Remote, flexible, part-time work with a close knit, collaborative, fun, team of colleagues who will value you as an individual. NOTE: We prefer applicants who are local to Atlanta, but would consider fully remote for the right person.

Jewish Kids Groups (JKG) is looking for an experienced, motivated, detail-oriented person to join our team of professionals in changing the shape of Jewish education across the country.

The JASA Cohort Coordinator and Coach works within JKG’s national initiative, the Jewish After School Accelerator (JASA), to support organizations across the country as they start their own Jewish programs after the school day ends. This position reports directly to the JASA Cohort Director.

We are looking for an individual who is even tempered, detail-oriented, punctual, collaborative, systematic, organized, personable, efficient, able to maintain a learner mindset, and contribute to a collaborative working environment.

Coaching

This position will work directly with the Cohort Director to organize, design, and facilitate regular (weekly or biweekly) individualized coaching sessions with participating organizations. Coaching sessions are centered around moving the participating organization forward through the JASA process, collecting and tracking data and statistics on progress, learning about challenges and successes, and providing advice, resources, and expertise to support participants.

The coaching also includes the responsibility of gathering and reporting relevant metrics from each cohort participant on a regular basis and contributing to the methodology and process of gathering data to maximize learning opportunities to better the cohort experience. This person will also continuously update JASA leadership on the programmatic health of participants in the program.

Finally, based on a model provided by the Cohort Director, this Coach will also identify, plan for and manage interventions/escalations that must occur due to participant non-compliance, organizational unrest, miscommunication, or mismanagement.

Coordinating

Under the direction of the Cohort Director, the Cohort Coordinator will be responsible for organizing materials, resources, and logistics for JASA events and programs including online workshops, in-person conferences, and the JASA application and selection process.
