WHO WE ARE:

Created in 2019 after a class action settlement and subsequent court order in Scharfstein v BP West Coast Products, Multnomah County Circuit Ct Case No. 112-17046.  OCJ’s purpose is to advance consumer protection in Oregon including, without limitation, advocacy in all forms (including state and federal litigation in multiple venues, legislative and regulatory advocacy), research, and education (including direct consumer education and legal CLEs) targeted at consumer protection in Oregon.

This directive continues to lead OCJ today as we focus on supporting litigation, leading advocacy and policy creation and providing direct consumer engagement.  With a dedicated staff and Board of Directors, OCJ has made an impact in Oregon and across the country in helping consumers understand their rights and strengthening consumer protection laws. 

OCJ currently does not directly engage in consumer litigation.  Rather, it has made a grant to Oregon Consumer Justice Law, a separate and independent professional corporation.  OCJ Law actively engages in consumer litigation in line with the court’s order.

OCJ does not have a permanent brick and mortar office.  More information about OCJ can be found by accessing www.OCJ.org .

POSITION SUMMARY

OCJ is hiring its next Executive Director to continue to build OCJ’s presence in the legal community, legislature and with consumers.  This opportunity to build strategy and engage in consumer protection while overseeing a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is unique and requires a unique leader.

The Executive Director will need to demonstrate fluency with nonprofit management, finance, and program implementation while regularly engaging in the community and legislature to advocate for consumer rights.  Whether an attorney or not, the ED will be building and maintaining relationships with the legal community in Oregon and across the country through regular communication, advocacy and building an understanding of the rights of consumers.

Accountable to the Board of Directors, the ED serves as OCJ’s chief strategist and, along with other key staff, the public voice.  The ED oversees a leadership team responsible for finance, operations, communications and engagement, legal outreach, and advocacy.  Along with the Board of Directors, the ED ensures that the organization operates sustainably while remaining rooted in its mission and community.

• Ensure OCJ’s financial policies and practices support long-term sustainability.

• As applicable support OCJ’s relationships with national consumer rights organizations.
• Along with staff, identify opportunities to increase access to justice for consumers and build a community of practice to support consumer justice work.

External Affairs & Community Engagement

OCJ’s ability to influence legislation and conduct consumer advocacy relies on excellent communication throughout Oregon and the country.

• Serve as the primary spokesperson for OCJ with support from the Director of Communications as well as the State and Federal Policy Directors.  
• Actively participate with agencies, local and national partner organizations, the legal community, media, legislators, and other relevant parties, to share OCJ vision, research and activities on behalf of consumers. 
• Cultivate and strengthen relationships with elected officials, funders, local and national organizations, community partners, and other leaders, in collaboration with the leadership team. 
• Promote OCJ’s visibility as a convener and thought leader, leveraging the expertise of OCJ’s staff and partners.

Board Engagement & Governance

OCJ’s Board members represent community, legal and legislative viewpoints to bring strategic thinking, partnerships and vision to the organization.  OCJ’s Board maintains the connection to OCJ’s inception and ties OCJ’s work to the consumer.

• Maintain a strong, transparent partnership with the Board Chair and Board members, committees and taskforces by sharing information on finance, operations and programs.
• Build short-term execution plans as well as long-term plans to ensure OCJ serves all of Oregon in consumer issues.

ZRG Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Portland Baroque Orchestra in their search for an Executive Director.

Portland Baroque Orchestra enters this search at an important moment of transition, renewal, and possibility. Following the disruptions of the pandemic years, PBO has made meaningful progress in strengthening its finances, stabilizing its operations, and reconnecting audiences with the distinctive intimacy and vitality of live period-instrument performance. With an ambitious artistic vision taking shape under Artistic Director Julian Perkins, the organization is poised to build upon its proud history while considering how it can reach new audiences, deepen its community presence, and secure a sustainable future.

The next Executive Director will have the opportunity to build upon this foundation while helping PBO define and pursue its next chapter. Audience development, contributed-revenue growth, long-term financial sustainability, organizational capacity, and creative thinking about how PBO serves its patrons and the broader community will be central priorities. This is a compelling opportunity for a leader energized by both challenge and possibility, with the strategic vision and practical skill to translate artistic ambition into enduring organizational strength.

Serving as PBO's chief administrative officer, the Executive Director will be its primary fundraiser, lead financial strategist, and one of its most visible external ambassadors. Working in close partnership with the Artistic Director and Board of Directors, the Executive Director will align artistic and organizational priorities, cultivate philanthropic and community relationships, and inspire staff, musicians, and volunteer leaders around a shared and ambitious future. The role calls for a versatile and highly engaged leader who is equally comfortable making a compelling case for support to a major donor, interpreting a balance sheet, developing a community partnership, and building the trust and alignment necessary for people to do their best work together.

Throughout this work, the Executive Director will advance PBO's commitment to broadening who participates in and benefits from the music it makes. The next leader will help ensure that access, inclusion, and engagement are reflected not only in PBO's public programs, but also in its relationships, decision-making, organizational culture, and vision for the future.

Portland Baroque Orchestra (PBO) brings the music of the Baroque and early Classical eras to life with imagination, immediacy, and extraordinary artistry. Founded in 1984 and based in Portland, Oregon, PBO is one of North America's leading and longest-established period-instrument ensembles. Performing on historical instruments and carefully crafted replicas, its world-class musicians reveal the distinctive colors, textures, and dramatic possibilities of music spanning centuries. The result is an experience rooted in scholarship yet alive with spontaneity, vitality, and a palpable sense of discovery.

Portland Baroque Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with an annual operating budget of approximately $1.1 million.  The Executive Director will oversee a team of six staff including three direct reports. Governed by a ten-member Board of Directors, PBO benefits from the leadership and engagement of volunteers with varied professional and community experience. Its musicians are represented by the American Federation of Musicians, Local 99, and the organization is committed to sustaining a collaborative, transparent, and respectful relationship with its players.

Experience working in or alongside a unionized workforce would be valuable. Prior knowledge of period-performance practice is welcome but not required. Portland Baroque Orchestra will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds. If you are excited about this role and feel that you can contribute to PBO, but your experience does not exactly align with every qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply. All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of PBO and the responsibilities and qualifications specified in the position prospectus.

The salary range for this position is $100,000 to $120,000. PBO offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes 100% employer-paid medical and dental insurance, vision and life insurance, a flexible spending account, generous vacation and personal leave time, and participation in a 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching. Additional benefits include pretax parking and transit deductions, paid family and medical leave through Paid Leave Oregon, flexible remote-work arrangements, and seasonal Summer Fridays.

About Us

Travel Lane County promotes the Eugene, Cascades & Coast region to support a vibrant year-round and countywide economy that enriches our communities. Our team is collaborative, innovative and driven by a shared commitment to serving the place we call home.

The Role

We're looking for an Executive Assistant to support our President & CEO. You'll manage the details behind board and committee work, correspondence, scheduling and travel, so the CEO can spend her time on the strategic and stakeholder work that only she can do.

Much of what this role produces, from board packets to letters of support, goes to public officials and community partners. That means the person in this role needs to write clearly, keep things organized and handle sensitive information carefully, all while staying calm when a board meeting needs an extra chair, a missing copy or a fast answer.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You anticipate what's needed and go get it. You pick up on what a busy day requires, and you're already solving it before anyone has to ask. 
• You know which days need your full attention, and you give it. Board and executive committee days move fast, and you're ready for whatever comes up.
• You measure your success by the team's success. You're motivated by outcomes, and you find real satisfaction in knowing your work made things run smoothly.
• You stay calm when something's happening in real time. A late arrival, a tech hiccup, a meeting that shifts direction mid-sentence. You handle it in the moment and keep things moving without missing a beat.
• Writes clearly and handles sensitive information with care. Board matters, personnel details and pre-decision conversations stay where they belong, and people trust you with them.

What is Required

• 3+ years of experience in executive-level administrative support, ideally supporting a President & CEO, executive or board.
• Demonstrated discretion and highest standards of confidentiality in handling board, personnel and other sensitive information.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to draft correspondence intended for public officials, and an understanding that most such correspondence is treated as a public record.
• Proficiency with Office 365 and SharePoint; experience with Granicus or similar CRM tools a plus.
• Demonstrated technical aptitude to quickly learn new data and reporting platforms, with the capacity to independently run and interpret reports over time. 
• Comfortable exercising independent judgment on routine scheduling matters, with that judgment developing over the first several months in the role.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workflows and deadlines.
• Ability to work occasional evenings and weekends for conferences, organizational functions and events.

What to Expect

This role is based in our downtown Eugene office, and your schedule will generally track with the President & CEO's own. When she's traveling or out of the office, you'll have more flexibility to work remotely. Board, executive committee, Issues Committee and Charitable Fund Committee meetings are part of the rhythm of this job, along with occasional evening or weekend commitments for conferences and organizational events.

You'll also be a familiar face at these meetings, greeting board members, setting up the room and handling whatever comes up so the CEO doesn't have to think about it.

Starting pay: $24.72 per hour (full-time, non-exempt) 

Benefits include:

• Medical and dental insurance
• Paid holidays, vacation and sick leave
• Employer SEP/IRA contributions after two years
• Monthly cell phone stipend

Work that Matters

Your work supports the President & CEO's ability to lead on behalf of Travel Lane County and the communities we serve. It's detailed work with real weight behind it, since much of what you produce reaches the officials and partners who help shape the future of the visitor economy here.

Submit your cover letter and resume to: https://eugenecascadescoast.bamboohr.com/careers/68?source=aWQ9MQ%3D%3D

This position is open until filled.

Travel Lane County is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued.

About Us

Travel Lane County promotes the Eugene, Cascades & Coast region to support a resilient, year-round and countywide economy that enriches our communities. Our team is collaborative, innovative and driven by a shared commitment to serving the place we call home.

The Role

We're looking for a Communications Manager who can create clear, compelling content for key audiences and markets. In this role, you’ll help shape how Travel Lane County communicates with visitors, stakeholders and industry partners across a range of channels.

You’ll write original, audience-focused content tailored to each placement, from destination stories for potential visitors to industry updates for partners and stakeholders. You’ll adapt tone, structure and messaging to fit each placement, producing work that is inspirational, clear and motivating while keeping pace during busy seasons and high-volume production cycles.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You write clearly and understand how to land a message. You know that different people need different messages. Whether you're writing for planners, visitors or community members, you can adjust your voice and approach while staying true to the brand.

You care about this place. You're curious about the communities across Lane County, not just Eugene. You want to know what makes Oakridge different from Florence, and you're willing to go find out. Our best writing comes from people who are genuinely interested in what they're writing about. 

You're steady when it gets busy. A caption comes up at the last minute. Three things need routing for approval on the same afternoon. You know how to prioritize, and you don't lose the thread.

You share the work instead of protecting it. Content here moves through a lot of hands — marketing, sales, membership, leadership. You collaborate well throughout the review process, welcome feedback as an opportunity to strengthen the final product, and provide thoughtful, constructive input that helps others.

You have a strong eye for detail. You catch the typo, double-check the link, notice when something feels off and take pride in putting polished work into the world.

You pitch in. We are a small team who is willing to help out wherever needed. Some days that means covering the visitor center or helping at an event. If you enjoy variety, teamwork, and contributing wherever you're needed, you'll thrive in this environment.

What to Expect

You’ll work closely with the Marketing team on projects that support visitor and meeting planner marketing, share visitor economy highlights and keep partners and stakeholders informed. 

You'll join a team that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely enjoys collaborating to achieve shared goals. Expectations will be clear, along with the tools, training, and resources you need to succeed and make a meaningful impact. 

Your work schedule will respect your life outside of work. Ongoing learning and career development opportunities will align with your goals. Above all, you'll be part of a culture built on trust, teamwork, mutual respect, and a sense of fun that makes coming to work rewarding every day.

Starting pay: $55,000 per year (full-time, exempt)

Benefits include:

• Medical and dental insurance
• Paid holidays, vacation and sick leave
• Employer SEP/IRA contributions after two years
• Cell phone stipend

Work that matters

Your work supports important marketing placements and projects on behalf of Travel Lane County and the communities we serve. It requires careful attention to detail, a creative perspective and a professional approach. The work carries real significance because much of what you create reaches the visitors to our region and the partners who help shape the future of the visitor economy here.
