Founded in 1974, the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) is a thriving social services and community center in NE Portland, and one of the city’s most respected nonprofit organizations.

We do our work knowing that our Native cultures are a source of our empowerment.

We seek an organized, warm, and capable HR leader to be our next Human Resources Manager. This role is responsible for providing the full spectrum of HR services including recruiting, onboarding, retention, compensation, benefits, employee relations, and HR information technology. This is an exciting role, with the opportunity to build the organization’s HR infrastructure and set forth HR practices that will best serve its employees. This role supervises the HR Specialist and reports to the Chief Operating Officer.

This is a full-time, exempt role with work hours of 9 am to 6 pm with a one hour unpaid lunch. Starting salary is $80,000 to $85,000 per year, or commensurate with experience.

This role will work primarily in the NAYA Family Center although working from home one day a week is acceptable after training and onboarding are complete.
