People & Culture Manager

Overview

WHO WE ARE
Since 1993, The Pathfinder Network (TPN) has provided justice-system impacted individuals and their families tools and support to be safe and thrive in our communities. We serve individuals experiencing incarceration, those reentering the community, those on forms of community supervision, their families, and their children, within 9 of Oregon’s 11 corrections facilities and in the community in Multnomah, Jackson, Marion, and Clackamas Counties.

We develop and deliver evidence-based, trauma-, gender- and culturally-responsive cognitive behavioral-based programs, including Parenting Inside Out, the highest-rated parenting skills curriculum for parents involved with the criminal justice system. Our community programs feature holistic wraparound support and services. We serve an average of 3,000 people a year agency-wide.

We show up for our employees by providing support and resources in six key areas that make up our total package: compensation, development, wellness, benefits, recognition and service.

As the People and Culture Manager, you will support the agency in prioritizing people, relationships, community, and the agency’s people strategy.
