Propagation Management Position
Iseli Nursery is a wholesale grower located in Boring, Oregon, twenty miles east of Portland. Established in 1975 by the late Jean Iseli and his brother André, the nursery has evolved from the original 10 acres to 900 acres and currently has 250 employees.
For the last 50 years, Iseli Nursery has pursued the goal of becoming the world’s finest provider of dwarf conifers, Japanese and hybrid Asian maples, and complimentary plants to independent garden centers, re-wholesalers, and landscape customers.
Our propagation department is the engine of the nursery. Nearly all our products are initiated here in our own facilities by a staff of more than 40 employees, primarily as rooted cuttings, and grafts. We are seeking a horticultural professional who will work alongside our current Propagation Manager, learning the position and acquiring the skills required to eventually take over as the department head. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that offers the chance to ascend to a critical leadership role at Iseli Nursery.
The position requires a candidate who is skilled at communicating and collaborating. This person must be passionate about learning and applying both the practical and technical aspects of growing and propagating woody plants. We are looking for a leader who will mesh well with our current staff and empower and inspire the team. The right person will be a problem solver who is able to remain flexible, approaching challenges with a humble attitude.
