Current Opportunity: Officer, Outreach & Partnerships, Israel – Tel Aviv, Israel

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is seeking an Officer, Outreach & Partnerships to join our team in Israel. This role is part of the founding team for the Dell Tech Leaders Scholarship Program — a partnership with the Council for Higher Education designed to support young adults from socio-economic and geographic periphery communities in pursuing STEM education at leading universities. The program begins at the preparatory stage and continues through graduation and entry into the tech workforce.

We are looking for a relationship-driven, mission-aligned professional with experience building partnerships and working with underrepresented populations in higher education — including Arab society, the Ultra-Orthodox community, new immigrants, and young adults from the geographic and socio-economic periphery. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic, multi-stakeholder environment and is energized by the challenge of building something meaningful from the ground up.

Preferred:

Who You Are

• Skilled at initiating, developing, and sustaining meaningful partnerships with diverse stakeholders across sectors.

• Brings genuine experience and passion for working with young adults from underrepresented communities, including Arab society, the Ultra-Orthodox community, new immigrants, and those from the periphery.

• Able to connect on-the-ground outreach efforts to broader program growth targets and adapt approaches based on data and feedback.

• Comfortable managing multiple partnerships and processes simultaneously in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

• Aligned with the foundation's mission to expand opportunity for underserved communities and motivated by measurable social impact.
