Organization Development Director

We are seeking someone who brings energy, insight, and a consultative approach to helping organizations thrive. This role is more than delivering OD services-it's about forming trusted partnerships, designing smart solutions, and making a measurable difference in the lives of employees and the leaders who support them.

The Organizational Development Director acts as a consultant to our members and is responsible for assessing organizational structures, processes, and culture to identify areas for improvement and alignment with their strategic objectives. Acting as an independent advisor, the consultant collaborates with member company leadership teams to design and implement solutions that enhance overall business performance, employee satisfaction and engagement, and organizational resilience.

MRA's business and office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, though there will be some variations based on member and MRA assignments, projects, responsibilities, and department expectations. We have a "hybrid" working arrangement, with the expectation of working three days a week in the office or at another MRA location as needed, including member locations, for full-time MRAers.

This hybrid opportunity is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If you are that dynamic, friendly, motivated problem solver with an engine to grow and build, we want to speak with you!

• OD Service Delivery: Partner with members to assess needs and implement interventions that create positive employee experiences, increase leader effectiveness, improve team dynamics and productivity, increase employee engagement, and enhance organizational performance.
