VANCOUVER, Wash. – A native of Portland, Jonathan Eder has joined the Port of Vancouver as human resources manager. He will be managing all human resources functions such as, compensation and benefits, family medical leave, recruitment, and employee-labor relations.
Jonathan has a ton of experience in human resources beginning in 1995 at A-dec – a dental equipment company – in Portland.
He volunteered for two and a half years in Guatemala with the Peace Corps in 2000, where he worked to help develop small communities including agriculture and business development.
After returning from Guatemala in 2003, Eder went to work at Oregon Child Development Coalition in Wilsonville as their human resources generalist where he handled employee relations, compensation and benefits, recruitment, training and compliance auditing. Two years later he worked at Anesthesiologists Associated in Beaverton doing much of the same type of work before joining the port.
Eder graduated from Southern Oregon University with a bachelor’s degree in business and human resources.
In his free time Eder likes to mountain bike, fly fish and play the guitar. He has been married to his wife Margaret for three years and they recently celebrated the birth of their first child.
The Port of Vancouver USA, created by Clark County taxpayers in 1912, is one of the major ports on the Pacific Coast. Its competitive strengths include available land, versatile cargo handling capabilities, vast transportation networks, a dependable labor force and an exceptional level of service to its customers and community.
