Location and Schedule: This is a full-time position based out of Adamah Detroit’s shared coworking space at the Downtown Synagogue in Detroit, Michigan. Adamah Detroit has a hybrid work environment with some in-person meetings required and a great deal of flexibility for staff to conduct other work remotely as they wish. Candidates must also be able and willing to travel to regular meetings and programs around the Metro Detroit area. Adamah offers a seasonal early stop on Fridays and some Jewish holidays. Adamah Detroit cultivates a culture of “no meetings” on Fridays, meant to ensure staff have time for deep work and planning without meeting interruption. The Program Manager’s schedule will often vary to accommodate weekend programs on Sundays and occasional late afternoon/early evening programs. (This is estimated at 2 weekend commitments per month during high programming time.) Additional expectations include an annual all-staff gathering that is out of state and aligned professional development opportunities or conferences to be coordinated with the Adamah Detroit Director.
Adamah Detroit values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. Candidates may be of any (or no) faith or background but should be well equipped to work within the Jewish community and demonstrate literacy in Jewish environmental values and tradition which inform all of our educational programs.

All employment decisions are made without unlawful discrimination as to race, creed, color, national origin, gender identity and expression, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, alienage, citizenship, or any other basis protected by law.
