At BBYO, we are motivated by our mission and by each other, making work inspiring, flexible, fulfilling, and deeply connected to the future of Jewish life.

This is a collaborative role: the Senior Director sets direction with BBYO’s senior leadership, partners with IT to build and secure the tools, and works alongside departments, the People team, and training staff to put AI into everyday practice.
