IMPACT
The VP of Human Resources and Talent sets the vision for our HR and Talent functions — and builds what's underneath it. You'll own people strategy end-to-end: org structure, systems, and the processes that keep everything running as we scale across states and entities.
Reporting to the CEO and partnering closely with the CFO, you'll hold a real seat at the executive table while staying hands-on in the work: organizational design, HR systems and infrastructure that fuels growth across multiple states and entities for a fast-growing, missing-driving organization.
This is an architecture role, not an engagement role. Success here is measured in systems built and structures designed. An ideal candidate will rather fix the system that produces the problem than solve the problem ten times, or create a workaround for it. If you're looking for a role where people strategy is a line item, this isn't it. If want to build the operating structure of a company that's going somewhere, let's talk.
This position is 90%+ based on site in our beautiful Central Oregon Corporate Headquarters. A relocation stipend is included, and full relocation to Oregon is required.

Human Resources Assistant Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a human resources assistant in Oregon?
Oregon does not require a state-issued license to work as a human resources assistant. Most employers look for an associate or bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field, combined with administrative experience. Completing a SHRM-CP or PHR certification strengthens candidacy significantly. Oregon community colleges such as Portland Community College and Lane Community College offer HR-focused programs that provide a practical foundation for entering the field.
Which companies hire human resources assistants in Oregon?
Oregon human resources assistant roles are posted by Tilray, Caring for Others, and Neah-Kah-Nie School District and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Oregon's concentration of large healthcare systems, public universities, and technology firms means steady HR assistant demand across both private and public-sector employers throughout the state.
Which Oregon cities have the most human resources assistant jobs?
Portland, Eugene, and Oregon hold the most human resources assistant openings in Oregon. Portland drives the largest share because it is home to major healthcare networks, corporate headquarters, and regional government offices, while Salem concentrates state agency HR work and Eugene supports a strong higher-education and healthcare employer base that sustains consistent demand.
Are there remote human resources assistant jobs in Oregon?
Yes, and they are more common than in many fields, since a significant share of HR assistant duties involve documentation, data entry, and system work that translates well to remote settings. About 22% of human resources assistant openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broad adoption across the sector. Benefits administration and HRIS coordination roles are the most frequently listed as fully remote.
How can I get hired as a human resources assistant in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for HR coordinator or HR administrative assistant roles at Oregon's large healthcare systems and public universities, which regularly bring in candidates without prior HR-specific experience. Providence Health, OHSU, and Oregon state agencies post entry-level support positions suited to graduates from community college HR or business programs. Lateral moves from administrative assistant, payroll clerk, or office coordinator roles are common, and completing a SHRM-CP exam prep course or gaining proficiency in Workday gives early-career candidates a concrete edge in applications.
