CAREERS

UJA is more than a workplace — it’s a community.

What we do matters. But so does how we do it — how we show up for each other, what we value, and how we support the people behind the work.

We take the work seriously, and we make time for fun too. It’s part of who we are and part of what makes this place feel like more than a job.

What It's Like to Work at UJA

Every day the UJA team supports people in need, strengthens communities, and responds to challenges in New York, Israel, and around the world.

What You Can Expect at UJA:

1. Purpose You Can Feel: Work that connects to real people and real impact in the New York City area, Israel, and beyond. 

2. Work That Moves: Priorities shift. Needs evolve. No two days look the same — and that’s part of what keeps things interesting. 

3. Built From the Inside Out: Everything starts with our people. We support and respect one another, trust our teammates to get it done right, and even make time for fun.  

4. We’re a “Big Tent”: Different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking make us stronger. Everyone has a place here. 

5. Room to Grow: Your ideas and initiative matter — and you’ll have the space to put them into action. 

 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

At UJA, respect and inclusion are the cornerstones of our organizational culture. We are committed to advancing an environment where people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives can be their authentic selves and where every voice is heard and valued. We know that our diversity makes us stronger, more effective, and more compassionate. That’s why we’re committed to continuing our education and awareness as we look to create a more inclusive workplace, one that’s best prepared to meet the needs of the diverse communities we proudly serve.

The best piece of feedback I get is about how inclusive our culture is. Employees love that they can bring their whole selves to work, which makes for a more collaborative and creative workplace.
