Assist other Litigation Bureau attorneys with their respective cases; may participate in major ATB appeals with senior staff attorneys (Tax Counsels and Counsel IIs) on their assigned cases.
Assist other Divisions within the Department when they seek certain legal advice or action including, but not limited to: seizure referrals; license revocations; contract actions; and opposition and/or cooperation with regard to certain subpoenas and summonses.

You are effective at working independently and are able to stay organized and be proactive in doing the work of a Jewish Life Specialist.

You'll build relationships with Community Builders by pro-actively reaching out for introductory calls, sharing Mem Global's educational resources, and serving as a resource for planning programs and holiday and ritual observance.
You will coach Moishe House Community Builders to help them reflect on their Jewish life and build a Jewish home that serves their own needs and brings Judaism to life for their community members.
You'll review, approve, and support programmatic grant applications related to the Jewish holidays. Where necessary, you'll help Community Builders raise the educational standard of their program ideas, with an eye toward a ground-up approach.
You have experience in creating and supporting the creation of experiential education programs, and you're excited by the challenge it can bring.
You'll design educational resources for the wider Mem Global network as part of a team of educators, and you'll periodically teach the Mem Global staff and community.
