The successful candidate will be responsible for leading all HR functions, including labor and employee relations, collective bargaining, compensation, benefits, talent acquisition, and organizational development. This role demands a seasoned HR executive with a minimum of 10 years' senior-level experience, particularly in a complex, mission-driven, and unionized environment. The CHRO will be instrumental in modernizing HR systems and processes, enhancing service delivery, and fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and effectiveness. A key aspect of the position is the ability to translate institutional priorities into workforce strategies and to build strong relationships across the university and the broader system. Applicants for the CHRO position at the company should hold a Bachelor's degree in business administration or a related field, with a Master's degree or advanced certification being desirable. The role requires a leader with a deep understanding of contemporary HR practices, employment laws, and regulations, as well as a proven track record in strategic planning, data-informed decision-making, and change leadership. The ideal candidate will have experience in higher education, particularly within a large public system, and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the mission of the institution. The CHRO must be a visible, approachable, and transparent leader, capable of fostering productive labor-management relationships and serving as a liaison to the Chancellor's Office and HR colleagues across the system.
