The California State University (CSU) seeks a deeply seasoned, innovative, and collaborative human resources leader to serve as the system’s next Vice Chancellor for Human Resources (VCHR). Reporting to the Chancellor of the CSU, the VCHR serves as the chief human resources officer for the CSU system and leads a team of seasoned HR professionals within the Chancellor’s Office (CO) in addition to providing comprehensive operational leadership, strategy, compliance, oversight, and direction for the campus human resources teams at each of the system’s 23 campuses. Serving as a strategic advisor to the Chancellor and the 25-member Board of Trustees on all personnel matters, the VCHR is a member of the Chancellor’s Council and a key partner to university presidents, faculty, staff, and other leaders throughout the System.
The ideal candidate for the VCHR position will have a master’s degree in human resources management, business administration or a related discipline (or an equivalent combination of education and experience), and will bring at least ten years of human resources management and leadership in increasingly complex environments, and broad expertise and knowledge across all facets of the HR enterprise, including labor and employee relations and civil rights. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a transformational HR leader with a business process improvement mindset who is inspired by the public mission and is eager to make an impact and contribute to helping a dynamic university system to fulfill its mission of providing exceptional education and serving the public good. The VCHR will bring a track record of both care and compliance – putting people first – by being well-versed in core legal and regulatory issues, while being deeply connected to the human experience at the heart of this important work. The successful VCHR candidate will also have a record of successful and highly collaborative change management and systems thinking in addition to knowledge of technology system implementation and leading-edge tools and practices for best-in-class human resources enterprises.
