You set priorities with rigor, make fair decisions grounded in data, and uphold the highest standards of confidentiality, judgment, and ethics. Youre passionate about systems and process improvement, thrive on change management challenges, and have a proven ability to forecast talent needs and close skill gaps, ideally within a complex, multi-state nonprofit setting that serves Tribal communities.
