Salary Range: $74,563.00 To $96,934.00 Hourly

Founded in 1977, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) is a partnership of the Columbia River basin’s four fishing tribes: the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservoir, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation and the Nez Perce Tribe. With more than 130 employees in Oregon and Idaho, we work to put fish back in the rivers, protect treaty fishing rights, share salmon culture, and provide direct services to tribal fishers along the Columbia River.

We seek an organized and experienced HR professional to be our next Human Resources Partner. This role is responsible for providing the full spectrum of HR services to the organization, including recruiting, onboarding, retention, compensation, benefits, employee relations, and HR information technology. This is a superb opportunity to serve the Columbia River and its people at one of Portland’s top nonprofit organizations.

CRITFC offers competitive compensation and an exceptional benefits package, including medical, dental, 401(k), 12 days of vacation (to start), 12 paid holidays, and paid sick time. Relocation assistance is available. We provide professional development opportunities, promote from within, and have a Native hiring preference as part of our commitment to our people. As a result, you will find a work environment that supports and inspires our shared goals of protecting the natural world and the tribal cultural connection to it.

Responsibilities

• Take the lead on providing HR services (recruiting, initiating personnel actions and entering them in the HRIS, etc.)
• Be the organization’s onboarding expert. Onboard all CRITFC new hires on their first day of work. Help departments to establish their own internal onboarding protocols. Help every new employee to feel a sense of belonging.
• Take the lead on employee benefits. Manage benefits open enrollment each year.
• Get to know every CRITFC job and every employee.
• Learn the treaties and regulations that apply to tribal employment law, which is significantly different that U.S. employment law.

Qualifications

• At least three years experience in a dedicated HR or Recruiting role.
• Experience with employment law in Indian Country is a plus.
• Strong tech skills, including strong experience using HRIS and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). ADP experience is a plus!
• Ability to manage details. You know that HR work is detailed work, and you get your work done right the first time.
• Strong project management skills and ability to keep projects moving forward, even when obstacles arise. You always have a plan, and you always meet your deadlines.
• Self-awareness. You can listen well and center others. You tend not to be defensive. You are generally OK with making mistakes and taking responsibility for them.
• You know that you can’t do HR or recruiting without getting out from behind your desk. In your current role, you get around, attending all of the celebrations and meetings. You know your people and you know their jobs.
• You prefer a team environment at work, rather than working alone. You don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and pitch in, even when it’s not your job.
• You can connect authentically with the widest range of people. You are an expert at helping people feel included.
• Expert skills in keeping HR matters confidential. You are privy to a significant amount of confidential and sensitive information, but you never disclose it.
