The McKnight Foundation is in an exciting transition and culture-building period and seeks an agile human resources leader to support its forward momentum. Reporting to the Vice President of Finance and Operations (VPFO), the Senior Manager of Talent and Culture is a member of the human resources department and focuses on managing all aspects of the talent management function, stewarding culture, and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion while fostering a culture of high trust + high expectations. Areas of direct responsibility include, but are not limited to: recruitment, onboarding, performance management, learning and development, employee relations, and organizational effectiveness. The Senior Manager of Talent and Culture supervises the Compensation and Benefits Manager, who is responsible for payroll, compensation administration, benefits, HRIS, and compliance. As one of the leaders in the Foundation's work on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the Senior Manager of Talent and Culture is a culturally competent, collaborative, and empathetic individual who embodies and supports the Foundation's values of curiosity, respect, equity, and stewardship.
The Senior Manager of Talent and Culture is a member of the Enterprise Operations Leadership Team which includes finance, human resources, information technology, reception, and facilities. This role collaborates across the Foundation, influences and supports change, builds understanding, and facilitates communication between leadership and staff. The Senior Manager effectively collaborates up, down, and across the Foundation to implement enterprise-wide programs and practices that attract, develop, and retain diverse, high-performing talent. This is a functional leader who must be effective at toggling between strategic thinking and tactical implementation. The ideal candidate is an experienced coach and seasoned manager with high emotional intelligence (EQ) and consensus-building skills. Hands-on work experience as a generalist in an employee-centric, fast-paced, small- to medium-sized nonprofit organization is ideal. Familiarity with Foundations is a big plus. The Foundation's 60+ current employees work in a hybrid environment, with three days per week in its Minneapolis headquarters. Located in the historic Mill City Museum complex, staff enjoy thoughtfully-designed space, proximity to parks and amenities, and stunning views of the Mississippi River.
