Metro is the regional government that provides integrated resource management for the 24 cities and unincorporated areas in the Portland metropolitan area. Facilities, public assets and governance services include the Oregon Convention Center, the Oregon Zoo, Portland’5 Centers, Expo Center, transportation planning, growth management, solid waste system management and recycling services, and regional parks and natural areas.
The Tribal Liaison will serve as a member of the Government Affairs and Policy Development (GAPD) team, which is part of the Chief Operating Officer / Council Office. Reporting to the Director of Government Affairs you will work with a second Tribal Liaison working in the GAPD office. Both Tribal Liaisons will work across the agency with a broader, cross-departmental group of staff at Metro, which collectively comprises Metro’s Tribal Affairs program.
The primary responsibilities of the Tribal Liaison will be to support the Metro Council’s priorities through strengthening relationships and coordinating consultation with interested Tribal Governments; establishing and improving existing staff trainings in tribal sovereignty and self-governance, history, practices, and cultural and historic resource protection; supporting engagement with urban Indigenous community members in greater Portland; and providing occasional project management support to special agency projects.
The incumbent will also develop relationships with people and organizations with expertise on tribal histories, treaties, protocols, customs and traditions, natural and cultural resources, relevant economic enterprises, and issues of tribal sovereignty and self-governance. The Tribal Liaison will work with the Metro Tribal Affairs program to elevate the priorities and interests of Tribes and Indigenous Peoples directly to the Metro Council and agency leadership.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
At Metro, we strive to cultivate diversity, advance equity, and practice inclusion in all of its work. This means attracting and empowering a workforce that is inclusive of a broad range of human qualities. Workplace diversity is both a moral imperative and a business strength, essential to providing quality support and services to our region. Metro’s goal is to hire, develop and retain highly skilled and talented individuals across all departments and programs who best reflect the diversity of our community.
