Job Description

The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission is seeking a dedicated and passionate manager for the newly formed Community Development Department.
The Community Development Department was created January 2024 to oversee CRITFCs programs, support services, coordination, and outreach for the tribal fishers and their families who live seasonally and year-round on the river. The Department provides support in three main areas: 1) Community Outreach and Social Services, 2) Nutrition Services/Tribal Food Programs, and 3) Food Sovereignty/Salmon Marketing. The Manager is responsible for providing strategic vision in the management of the Departments current programs and in increasing efforts to empower and enhance the social, health, and economic well-being of the tribal communities.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of successfully managing community initiatives, building strong partnerships, a deep understanding of tribal community development principles, and experience working and interacting with frontline communities. The Manager will work closely with the Executive Director to build key relationships with community partners and collaborate with their Deputy Manager in the oversight of the Departments daily activities to ensure alignment with organization-wide goals, priorities, and initiatives.
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.
This position is hybrid eligible based out of the Portland Office.
