About the Role

The Company is seeking an Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources to play a pivotal role in the modernization and strategic development of HR within a complex, multi-campus public university. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing both strategic and operational leadership to a workforce of over 2,300 employees, with a focus on reengineering core HR processes, strengthening workforce culture, and aligning HR practices with the institution's mission and regulatory environment. This includes overseeing labor relations in a complex, unionized setting, leading HR transformation initiatives, and ensuring compliance with a range of regulatory requirements. The role demands a leader with broad HR functional expertise, deep knowledge of union relations, and a demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, and anti-racism.

Applicants for the Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources position at the company should have a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, with a Master's degree or advanced terminal degree preferred. A professional HR certification is also desirable. The ideal candidate will have 5-7 years' of progressively responsible HR experience, including supervision of staff, and a proven track record in leading HR transformation and organizational change. Strong strategic and operational leadership skills, excellent communication, and the ability to build trust across diverse constituencies are essential. The role requires a leader who can balance vision with hands-on execution, and who is adept at problem-solving with a creative, solutions-oriented approach. Experience in a higher education setting and familiarity with Illinois labor law are also advantageous.
