Employment Type: Temporary, Part-Time
Dates: November 2026–May 2027
Location: Remote; Washington, DC, preferred
Hourly Rate: $30/hour

ABOUT THE ROLE

BBYO is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Marketing & Communications Coordinator (part-time) to support the Marketing & Communications team in the months leading up to (and potentially during) BBYO International Convention (IC) 2027, as well as with general marketing support through the spring.

The successful candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, has an exceptional eye for detail, and brings strong organizational and project-management skills. They can juggle many moving pieces at once and understand how a single update may ripple across multiple projects, people, and communications channels. Candidates should be comfortable learning new technology systems, such as Airtable and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. A background in marketing, communications, media relations, journalism, or a related field is preferred.

ABOUT BBYO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION (IC)

Every year over U.S. Presidents’ Day weekend in February, BBYO unites more than 5,000 teen leaders, alumni, educators, influencers, professionals, and philanthropists from around the world for BBYO International Convention, one of the largest Jewish communal events of the year.  This year, IC will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, from February 11–15, 2027.

PHASE 1: IC SUPPORT

The Marketing & Communications Coordinator will provide essential support for all marketing related activities leading up to and at IC. They will begin by shadowing members of BBYO’s marketing team during the fall and gradually take on more responsibility as IC approaches, culminating in potential onsite marketing support in Baltimore during IC, if availability permits.

PHASE 2: GENERAL MARKETING SUPPORT

Following IC, the Marketing & Communications Coordinator will continue supporting BBYO's Marketing & Communications team through May 2027. In this phase, the Coordinator will help execute marketing campaigns, coordinate communications projects, support regional events and conventions, and assist with preparations for BBYO's summer recruitment and program launches. The role will serve as a central point of coordination across multiple stakeholders, helping ensure projects stay organized, deadlines are met, and communications are delivered accurately and on schedule.
