Scion Executive Search (SES) has been retained to conduct a search for a new Director of Human Resources on behalf of our incredible client, Community Action Marin! They are seeking a passionate, eager, and energized individual to shape and cultivate a positive organizational culture and to support a team working hard to make a difference in the lives of children, families, and communities. This exciting opportunity is full-time, located in Marin County, California, and operates on a flexible hybrid schedule.

ABOUT COMMUNITY ACTION MARIN:
Community Action Marin (CAM)’s mission is to promote members of Marin County to achieve well-being by providing them with the education, mental health, and vital services they need. CAM works to actively break down the barriers that impede access and ability for individuals to support themselves and each other.

Marin County is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places to live in the United States. While it has some of the highest incomes per capita and one of the lowest unemployment rates, it also holds claim to the widest income gap and one of the greatest racial inequities in the State of California. The cost of living in Marin has risen 48% in just the past four years, and families are struggling to make ends meet. Right now, a family of four with two adults, one infant, and one preschooler would need to earn $149,545 annually—an amount 82% greater than the federal poverty level of $26,500—to cover all the family’s basic expenses, such as housing, food, childcare, health care, transportation, and taxes without public or private assistance.

When community members need help, CAM’s duty is to meet them where they are, put them first, listen to their needs, and give them more than just the tools to meet the basic requirements for survival. CAM’s bilingual and bicultural staff ensures that people are heard—from immediate needs to making long-lasting change a reality in support of equity and prosperity for all!
