President and CEO

This is a great opportunity for a visionary leader with a passion for excellence, a penchant for innovation and a solid reputation for integrity. S/he will be comfortable challenging the status quo to promote growth and change, while effectively and successfully collaborating with donors/community/staff to build strong relationships.

The Campus is a unique and significant asset and the heart of the Jewish community. It is home to the Federation, the San Antonio Holocaust Museum and its outstanding community educational programming, the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Family Services, the Eleanor Kolitz Academy Jewish Day School and the offices of The Golden Manor Jewish Senior Services.

San Antonio is a big city with a small town feel, and is home to the Alamo, RiverWalk, Fiesta Spring Festival and major medical centers. San Antonio is a vibrant city with a family-oriented, welcoming and committed Jewish community.

The CEO will hire, manage and mentor a professional team. S/he will also cultivate volunteer leadership by identifying, recruiting and partnering with the dedicated and knowledgeable community volunteers and innovate, inspire and excite those community leaders to become involved and engaged in the work of the Federation, particularly in educating and inspiring the next generation.
