Are you a strategic leader passionate about building strong, productive, and engaged teams? The Oregon State Hospital is seeking an Employee & Labor Relations Manager to provide expert leadership and oversight of labor relations strategies that align with state and federal laws, union agreements, and the hospital’s long-term goals.  OSH’ goals are part of the greater Oregon Health Authority, and together we are committed to being an anti-racist organization that works to eliminate health inequities and dismantle structural barriers that impact underserved communities.

In this vital role, you’ll be the go-to advisor for employee and labor relations across a high-profile division of a “Level 2” state agency. You’ll shape labor strategies, policies, and practices that support a healthy workplace culture — one where employees feel heard, valued, and empowered to succeed!

  • Lead and support complex labor negotiations and employee relations matters.
  • Ensure 24/7 HR employee and labor relations coverage for a dynamic and mission-driven workforce.
  • Align labor relations efforts with the hospital’s strategic priorities and HR operational needs.

Bring your expertise, leadership, and dedication to public service to a role that makes a lasting impact. Help us create a workplace where people thrive — and where world-class care begins with engaged staff.

If this opportunity aligns with your strengths, background, and commitment to fostering inclusivity, we encourage you to apply!
