📋 Description

• Just Vision fills a media gap on Israel-Palestine through independent storytelling and strategic audience engagement. • We aim to contribute towards a just, rights-respecting, and pluralistic future for everyone in the region. • We place documentary filmmaking and journalism at the center of our mission because we believe that stories have the power to shape public norms, equip audiences with vital information, undermine stereotypes, and inspire engagement and action. • We are a dynamic team of filmmakers, journalists, and human rights advocates based across Israel-Palestine and the US. • Our team reaches tens of thousands of people through direct engagements and screenings, moving fluidly from refugee camps and villages to top-tier film festivals and high-level talks with global decision makers. • We touch millions more through television broadcasts, digital distribution, and international press coverage. • Founded in 2003, Just Vision is nonpartisan and religiously unaffiliated. • At this critical juncture, we are seeking a strategic, innovative, and visionary leader who can build on the organization’s 21-year track record as a changemaking presence in the Israeli-Palestinian landscape. • Just Vision’s next President and Executive Director will continue to grow our organization, evolve our approaches, and increase our impact. • The position is hired by and reports to Just Vision’s Board of Directors, and supervises the Chief of Staff, Creative Director, Editorial Director, Director of Development, and Editor-in-Chief of Local Call.

Able to uphold clear expectations and accountability while centering care and well-being for staff working in sensitive and complex situations. • Impeccable judgment and strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess risks and opportunities and consider the perspectives of a diverse range of stakeholder communities while maintaining alignment with core values. • Exceptional relationship-building and interpersonal skills, including comfort working in multilingual and multicultural spaces, that allow for meaningful engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders, donors, and strategic partners.
