THE ROLE
The Camp Registration & Finance Specialist provides dedicated registration, family account, and financial operations support for multiple URJ camps. This six-month role brings together two equally important areas of responsibility: supporting families through the financial aspects of camper registration and ensuring accurate, timely day-to-day camp financial operations.
The Specialist serves as a responsive resource for families navigating tuition, payments, financial assistance, scholarships, refunds, discounts, and account questions. At the same time, they manage accounts payable and other financial transactions, maintain accurate records and databases, coordinate key communications, and partner with the URJ’s central Finance team to support strong financial practices. 
Working across multiple camps requires someone who can build relationships quickly, manage competing priorities, and move comfortably between family conversations, administrative coordination, and detailed financial work. The Specialist will partner closely with Camp Directors, camp staff, and central Finance while serving as a consistent resource across multiple camps.

WHO YOU ARE
You are equally comfortable helping a family work through a complicated account question and figuring out why a financial transaction does not match the records. You bring warmth, patience, and good judgment to family interactions while also being highly organized and attentive to detail. You enjoy solving problems, following through until issues are resolved, and creating order in busy environments. You can move easily between people and systems, manage multiple priorities without losing track of the details, and work independently while staying closely connected to a broader team.
