The Center for Jewish History is home to five partners—American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. The partner collections total more than five miles of archival material and span nearly a thousand years of history. When the Center opened its doors as the new "Library of Congress of the Jewish people," it made a commitment to preserve the treasures that live within its walls and make them accessible to scholars, students, and diverse audiences. The Center relies on philanthropic support to do this work.
The Center is currently looking to fill the following position/s:
The Senior Network Administrator (Network Admin) oversees the steady operation of the Center’s IT and network infrastructure and systems, supporting all technology facets of the 135,000 square foot public facility, which includes a museum, library, archive, auditorium, and office space. Working in collaboration with the Director of Operations, the Network Admin will configure, maintain, and upgrade all elements of the Center’s tech infrastructure, including on-site servers, switches, security appliances, and storage devices. The Network Admin is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the IT department, ensuring they are effectively managed to provide an exceptional environment for staff, researchers, and guests.
Working with limited supervision, the Network Admin will exhibit considerable initiative – often making prompt, clear decisions which may involve tough choices or considered risks; takes responsibility for actions, projects, and people; acts with confidence and works under their own direction. The Network Admin works strategically to set and realize operational goals, and help identify, develop, and act on opportunities for process improvement and documentation.
The salary range for this position is $85,000 - $95,000
