Fundraising Manager

The Sydney Jewish Museum (SJM) is a world-class cultural institution, dedicated to documenting and teaching the history of the Holocaust and promoting understanding of the Jewish faith, culture and traditions.  

Each year over 50,000 visitors come to the Sydney Jewish Museum in Darlinghurst, which is one of Australia’s most important Museums examining the history of the Holocaust.
