JOB OPPORTUNITIES

The Total Package

The Pathfinder Network Total Compensation and Benefits

We believe in bringing excellence to all that we do, and that means engaging our employees with compassion and thoughtful care. We focus on the two accountabilities: what you can be counted on to do and who you can be counted on to be as an employee at TPN. Our total package demonstrates our vision to provide holistic resources  to ensure our team is supported and equipped to carry out our mission.

We show up for our employees by providing support and resources in seven key areas that make up our total package and we always strive to expand on what we offer.

What We Look For

We are intentional about building a healthy and thriving organizational culture and envision a community of staff, partners, volunteers, and donors who are deeply committed to equitable, just and anti-racist practices in every facet of our organization, where everyone can experience belonging. We engage in continual learning and seek ways to operationalize equitable and inclusive practices. We believe every member on our team enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and to discover, design and deliver solutions.

How We Hire

We admit that there is no such thing as the perfect candidate. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t meet each and every position requirement – instead, use your application to let us know what excites you about the role and what transferable skills or other qualities you would like to bring to TPN! If you are interested in learning more about our organization and open opportunities, please contact our Director of People and Culture.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. If you are excited about this role but your experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

If reasonable accommodation or an alternative form of this application are needed to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and/or to receive other benefits and privileges of employment, please contact our Director of People & Culture at ewatson@thepathfindernetwork.org or 503.892.5396.

TPN hires a workforce representative of the communities we serve, understanding that a diverse workforce strengthens our organization. We value diversity and support a positive and welcoming environment where all employees can thrive. We prioritize hiring people with lived experience and a connection to the work that we do.

In practice, this means we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a parent, marital status or political affiliation. We also take seriously the idea that our work benefits from a genuine commitment to diversity, by considering applications from individuals representing all kinds of backgrounds.
