The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation is a 20-year limited-life foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities its founder, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., loved and called home: Southeast Michigan and Western New York. Mr. Wilson’s mandate of a 20-year spend down requires that the Foundation operate differently, with urgency and a collaborative spirit, and his hope was that its impact would be immediate, substantial, and measurable, felt within the lifetimes of those who knew him best.
The Foundation is seeking a Senior Manager, Talent and People Operations who brings energy, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to the people doing this work. This role is central to ensuring the Foundation’s team is supported, developed, and positioned to deliver meaningful impact through the Foundation’s close in 2035.
The Senior Manager will collaborate with the leadership team to support the human resource functions, including legal and compliance needs, professional growth and career development of each staff member, management of facilities to ensure a highly functioning team workspace, and coordinate the activities of the administrative team. As a key touchpoint for staff, they will provide coaching, professional development, career planning, and other talent management and human resources support to the whole team.
