Position:
Director of People and Culture—Full time
Overview:
Manages all aspects of the human resources function for the Foundation and serves as a member of the senior leadership team, guiding organization-wide decision-making and designing and sustaining a people-centered environment that reflects the Foundation’s mission, vision, values, and strategy.
Reports To:

Office/ Remote Status:
Hybrid work environment. Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, staff work either remotely or in the office. Wednesday and Thursday, staff are required to work in the office.
The mission of the Northwest Area Foundation (NWAF) is to support efforts by the people, organizations, and communities of our region to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable prosperity. Our region includes the eight states of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and the 76 Native nations that share the same geography.
Guiding Values
All staff are expected to carry out the mission of the Foundation in a way that upholds and demonstrates our Guiding Values:
Social Justice
Courage
Heart
Grantees Come First
Listen and Learn for Change
Trust
Our Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI)
We have made an intentional commitment to advance JEDI because sustainable prosperity cannot be achieved without it. The policies and systems of our region don’t work for our priority communities—Native Americans, communities of color, immigrants, refugees, and people in rural areas—and, instead, create barriers to finding good jobs, starting businesses, or building assets that might lead to prosperity. Too many people in our priority communities live in crisis or a paycheck away from it. Our work on JEDI is an effort to change these realities.
