People and Organizational Development Manager

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Fulfill, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, has been dedicated to addressing hunger at the Jersey Shore since 1984. Our mission is to accelerate food security throughout Monmouth & Ocean Counties by leading a collaborative movement that connects people to food and related resources while also addressing systemic barriers to self-sufficiency and well-being. We envision a vibrant, resilient community that ensures our neighbors' food security needs are fulfilled.

Fulfill proudly works with a network of nearly 300 partners, including soup kitchens, food pantries and shelters, to provide 1.2 million meals per month to more than 100,000 families, children, seniors and veterans. Committed to more than just food distribution, Fulfill also offers connections to affordable healthcare options, Medicaid, SNAP and other services to help neighbors lead healthy lives with the food they need to thrive.

Fulfill is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage qualified individuals from all backgrounds to apply for this position.

The ideal candidate for this newly created role will be grounded in foundational HR skills and knowledge, while focused on the people-centered aspects of HR — strengthening our workplace culture, designing and implementing staff development initiatives, and helping Fulfill grow as a values-based, high-performing organization. With a PEO managing day-to-day HR operations (e.g., payroll, benefits, compliance, recruitment), this role leads our internal HR strategy and serves as the architect of a workplace where people grow, thrive, and feel connected to our mission: Hunger Won’t Win Here.

As a food bank, Fulfill’s team comprises a wide variety of professional backgrounds — from warehouse staff, truck drivers, and chefs, to fundraisers, analysts, and program managers. This position plays a vital role in supporting all team members through practices that are inclusive and responsive — not one-size-fits-all.

This role is also tightly aligned with Fulfill’s strategic plan, which emphasizes data-informed decision-making, input from those closest to the work, and a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

• Serve as Fulfill’s internal HR point of contact and liaison to the PEO for services like payroll, benefits, time tracking, and leave administration.
