Full Job Description
Lead with Purpose. Live Where Others Vacation.

Noo-Kayet Investments (NKI), the economic development arm of the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, is seeking a dynamic and experienced Human Resources Director to lead our people strategy. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll guide HR operations across a diverse and growing portfolio that includes The Point Casino & Hotel, food distribution, retail, fuel operations, cannabis, and commercial real estate.

This is more than an HR leadership role-it's an opportunity to shape workplace culture, develop future leaders, expand opportunities for Tribal Members, and make a lasting impact throughout the organization and community.

What You'll Do
  • Lead recruitment, retention, compensation, benefits, employee relations, and performance management.
  • Develop strategies that strengthen culture, engagement, and organizational success.
  • Coach and inspire a high-performing HR team.
  • Advance Tribal Member employment and professional-development opportunities.
  • Lead succession planning and workforce integration for new enterprises.
  • Partner with executive leadership, the NKI Board, Tribal Government, and regulatory agencies.

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree and at least five years of HR management experience.
  • SHRM-CP or PHR certification, or the ability to obtain it within six months.
  • Strong knowledge of employment law and HR best practices.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Class III Gaming License.

A graduate degree, THRP certification, and experience working with Tribal communities or enterprises are preferred.

Ready to lead with purpose while building a life in the beautiful Pacific Northwest? We'd love to hear from you.

NKI exercises Tribal Preference in accordance with its Tribal Preference Policy.
