The Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) has made significant investments in building a people-centered culture and modernizing HR systems to support innovation in hunger relief and community resilience in the Washington, D.C. region. We are seeking a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to accelerate this progress and lead talent and culture development for our blended workforce of approximately 200 staff (70% hourly, 30% salaried) across a wide range of roles and career levels. Reporting to and working closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), you will develop, refine, and lead a best-in-class human resources function, drive CAFB’s people strategy, and support employees at all levels to build a cohesive culture that fosters connection, engagement, and pride in what we can accomplish together.
As a key advisor to and member of the Executive Leadership Team, you will leverage our state-of-the-art systems to develop and lead a data-driven HR strategy that supports and sustains growth. This includes staffing plans and talent strategy, recruiting and hiring processes, internal communication, performance management, succession planning, and the creation of a targeted professional learning and career development program. As CAFB evolves, you will regularly evaluate compensation and benefits to ensure they remain cutting-edge and aligned with employee needs. And you will lead efforts to position CAFB as a top place to work, with a reputation for attracting, developing, and retaining a workforce that embraces innovation, learning, and collaboration. In addition to shaping strategy, you will lead an HR team of four and oversee all aspects of HR operations, including onboarding and offboarding, employee relations, HR systems, policies, and compliance.
The ideal candidate is a skilled coach and problem solver, a diplomatic change agent, and an empathetic leader with a deep understanding of organizational dynamics. We are looking for an individual who leads by example and builds relationships at all levels through respect, understanding, and a can-do, service-oriented attitude. This is an opportunity to create lasting structures that foster enthusiasm among staff, address the challenges of a varied workforce, and support CAFB’s continued impact.
CAFB is proud to deliver the equivalent of 60 million meals through direct distribution and food assistance partners to people in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia every year, but that’s only the beginning. We are investing in long-term solutions that address the interrelated issues of food security, poverty, and equity through partnerships that integrate food with education, health care, job training, and more.
