Vice President, Talent Management

The OSU Foundation partners with the university to engage the broad OSU community, inspire investment and steward resources to enhance the university’s excellence and impact. The Foundation, entering its 75th year, is a nonprofit organization, separate from the university and governed by a Board of Trustees.

The Foundation aspires to be not only one of the best university foundations and advancement organizations in North America, but also a “best place to work,” and acts in full alignment with the university to advance its priorities as determined in its cycle of strategic plans. While building relationships with alumni, parents and friends is a shared, university-wide responsibility, all fundraising positions are housed in the OSU Foundation.

As of June 30, 2022, the Foundation holds assets surpassing $1.1 billion, manages an endowment of more than $764.5 million and employs approximately 150 professionals.

The Oregon State University Foundation seeks a strategic executive-level human resources professional to serve as Vice President, Talent Management (VP/TM).
