About the Role
The Company is seeking an Executive Director for Total Rewards, a pivotal role that demands a strategic leader to design, implement, and govern a comprehensive total rewards strategy. This strategy is essential for attracting, motivating, and retaining top talent, and must be in alignment with the institution's goals and values. The successful candidate will lead the company's compensation, benefits, and well-being programs, ensuring market competitiveness, financial stability, and compliance. A key aspect of the role is intentional stakeholder management, acting as a collaborative partner and skilled communicator to build a strong reputation for excellence, transparency, and trust.

A bachelor's degree or equivalent, with at least 12 years' experience leading compensation and benefits teams, is required, preferably within complex and decentralized institutions of higher education. An advanced degree and/or relevant certifications are preferred. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cost control and sustainability, and while experience in higher education is valued, those with a proven ability to work effectively in shared governance cultures will also be considered.
