Jobs in Israel for English speakers: where to look and how to apply

Updated 1 November 2026

Jobs in Israel for English speakers are concentrated in high-tech, customer support and sales for markets abroad, marketing and content, and international companies, where the working language is often English. Most of these jobs are posted in English and accept an English resume. Elsewhere Hebrew is usually needed, so the honest level of your Hebrew decides which roles to aim at.

Where English is enough

• High-tech. Developers, QA, data, product and IT: many teams work in English, and ads are written in English.
• Customer success and support. Companies that sell abroad need native speakers for customers in the US, UK and other markets.
• Sales and business development. Account executives and SDRs for English-speaking markets.
• Marketing and content. Copywriting, content marketing, SEO and social media for international audiences.
• Teaching and tutoring. English teachers and tutors, in schools and privately.

Where you'll need Hebrew

Most jobs that serve Israeli customers or the public: retail, administration, local sales, healthcare, education outside English teaching, and government jobs. A role that says "Hebrew at a high level" or "full Hebrew" means it. If your Hebrew is at a working level, say so: "Hebrew: working proficiency" is better than an overstatement that comes up in the interview.

Your resume for Israel

1. One to two pages, in English. Israeli recruiters prefer short and direct.
2. Translate titles and degrees into what they mean here. A US "associate" or a UK "A-level" may need a word of explanation.
3. Languages. A clear line: English (native), Hebrew (level), any others.
4. Location and status. Where in Israel you live (or will live, and when), and that you're eligible to work here.
5. No photo, ID number or marital status. Not needed.

A short English cover letter makes a big difference. Examples: Cover letter in English: examples.

How to find the jobs

• Search in English. Many ads are posted with English titles, so search for the English job title (for example "Customer Success Manager", not its Hebrew translation).
• Look at companies' own career sites. Many international companies in Israel post on their own sites first.
• Use your community. Olim groups, alumni networks and former colleagues are a common way into English-speaking roles.
• Get help. Aliyah organizations and the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration offer employment counselling for new immigrants.
