We unite in a dynamic, ongoing relationship by a desire to embrace the values, traditions and teachings of Torah through the lens of Reform Judaism. Through worship, celebration, lifelong learning, and service to others, we seek to inspire spirituality, nurture personal growth, promote social justice, deepen Jewish experiences and enrich the life of each member. At TBS, there is a place for everyone. We share our stories with, learn from, celebrate with, and support one another – recognizing that in a true community we walk life’s path together.

TBS is a community of over 1,000 households and growing with an operating budget of $10.5M. Our team consists of a 5-member leadership team (two senior rabbis, three senior directors), 80+ full-time clergy, education, and administrative staff, and a dedicated body of lay leaders and volunteers.

At a time of tremendous growth and opportunity, Temple Beth Shalom seeks a Senior Director of Operations & Engagement to provide strategic oversight of key functional areas of the congregation.

- As a member of the senior management team, contribute to guiding overall organizational strategic direction, decision-making, prioritization, and goals.
- Foster a warm and caring environment so that congregants, prospective members, lay leaders, volunteers, and staff feel welcomed, respected, nurtured, and appreciated.

Ideal candidates bring a track record with a demonstrated track record in building and sustaining thriving organizations. You possess business acumen and operations know-how to ensure sound oversight of functional areas that keep an organization running.
