Job Opportunities
The Port of Hood River is seeking a motivated, community-focused professional to join us as a Waterfront Coordinator. This transitional role is part of our succession plan and provides a structured path for gaining the institutional knowledge needed to eventually manage our waterfront and marina. You’ll take charge of key projects like overseeing the Port Foundation, maintaining records, researching funding opportunities, and supporting efforts toward financial sustainability. Building strong relationships with community partners and waterfront users is also a key part of the role.
