Neighborly Ventures is in search of a Director of Human Resources to join our growing team!

About Neighborly Ventures:

At Neighborly Ventures we develop, construct, and manage multi-family housing in Oregon, Washington, and Utah. That is what we do, and how we do it matters just as much: we do our work in an increasingly outward way, for a growing number of people, while advancing personal growth. This is our Vision, and we call it the “Neighborly Way.”

Central to the Neighborly Way is our unrelenting commitment to an outward mindset. This means we are self-aware and accountable to our work and how we impact others. We believe in growth and strive to invest in all our employees.

How do we do it?

· We listen and assess the impacts we have on everyone we interact with.

· We strive to see all as a person and are invested in your growth with us.

· We trust and value the opinions of all our employees and others we impact.

· We approach, rather than avoid, conflict in a spirit of collaboration, rather than combat or compromise.

· We hold ourselves to a standard of excellence in all we do and how we do it.

This commitment to mindset, conflict, and excellence is not just about being good people, which we value, but also about delivering the best business results for ourselves and those we serve. Those excellent results include our communities winning “Best Apartments in the Willamette Valley,” five years running (2000-2024).
