Job Summary

The Rashi School, Greater Boston’s Reform Jewish Independent School, serving students in grades Pre-K-8 seeks a Business Office Associate to support the daily operations of the Business Office.

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations, this role provides administrative and operational support across transportation, facilities rentals, finance, and human resources. The Business Office Associate works closely with the Director of Finance & Operations, Controller, and Business/HR Manager to ensure efficient, well-coordinated operations that support the school community.

This is an early-career operations role ideal for a highly organized professional who enjoys managing logistics, supporting systems, and contributing to a mission-driven organization.

In our warm and inclusive community, children are appreciated for who they are as they learn and develop their identities. With the school’s foundation of rigorous academics and differentiated instruction and a mission rooted in social justice, we want our students to ask the tough questions—not just the who, what, where, but the how, why, and what can I do to fix it? Rashi graduates have the confidence to try new things and to fail forward. With kindness at their core, they become empowered learners, change agents, global Jewish citizens, and good friends.
