The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is energetic, flexible, and collaborative. The ideal candidate is a problem solver who also has the necessary interpersonal skills to quickly build and maintain positive working relationships with staff, department heads, labor representatives, and elected officials. The ideal candidate is solutions-oriented and possesses the ability to adapt to changing and competing priorities. Experience with core human resources functions is imperative, including a solid background in public sector budget development, policy development and administration, process improvements, labor relations and negotiations, and employee learning and development. In addition to human resources acumen, the Director has a strong working knowledge of public policy, municipal functions and activities, including the role of an elected City Council. The City’s next Human Resources Director will be creative and people centric as they continue to build on the current culture of high performance and stability, while bringing innovative programming in this post pandemic organizational structure, providing expert guidance around recruitment initiatives and succession planning, benefits’ plans, risk management, classification and compensation, and overall staff support.
