About Beyond Toxics
Beyond Toxics is an Oregon-based environmental justice nonprofit dedicated to building a community-driven movement for clean air, safe water, and healthy, resilient communities. Grounded in equity, collaboration, and the belief that frontline communities must be centered in environmental policy, we work across the state to hold polluters accountable, advance bold climate justice solutions, strengthen public health protections, and support communities most impacted by environmental harm.
We are a small but deeply committed team of 11 staff members working in a dynamic, values-driven environment. We pride ourselves on a culture rooted in learning, transparency, compassion, and accountability. As we enter our first collective bargaining process with a newly formed staff union, we are seeking an HR professional who can help strengthen our internal systems while supporting a healthy, equitable workplace culture.
Position Overview
The Human Resources Manager is a key member of the leadership team, responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing HR systems, policies, and practices that nurture an equitable, mission-aligned, and legally compliant workplace. This is a hands-on role that will shape the organization’s HR infrastructure as we grow, including employee relations, recruitment, performance management, benefits administration, HRIS development, policy updates, and staff wellbeing initiatives.
This position also plays a meaningful role in supporting Beyond Toxics during its first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiation process. The HR Manager will attend bargaining sessions (as appropriate), support labor-management communication, assist with grievance processes, and ensure that policies, practices, and systems align with the CBA once finalized.
