Vice President of Human Resources

The Company is in search of a Vice President of Human Resources to spearhead the evolution of its people strategy and HR function. This is a pivotal role, not for the faint of heart, but for a seasoned leader ready to transform HR from a reactive service model to a strategic, integrated, and accountable function. The successful candidate will be tasked with becoming a trusted advisor to the executive team, leading a cultural program that aligns with the organization's mission, and modernizing all aspects of HR, from talent acquisition to compliance. A key responsibility will be to rebuild confidence in employee relations and strengthen HR support for managers and employees, all while remaining visible and connected to the clinical and operational realities of the system. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of five years' of progressive HR leadership experience in a healthcare setting, with a deep understanding of how workforce strategy impacts clinical quality, patient experience, and the economics of a community health system. They must be a transformation leader, capable of redesigning HR, integrating organizations, and improving service delivery. A Master's degree in a related field is required, and certifications such as SHRM-SCP or SPHR are preferred. The role demands a strategic operator who can connect workforce strategy to organizational priorities and a relationship-centered influencer who can build accountability through trust and judgment. The candidate should be a builder, energized by creating systems and developing leaders, and a rural healthcare advocate, prepared to be an integral part of the organization and the communities it serves.
