Director, Staff Scheduling Technology

Lead the technology that powers how Mayo Clinic's workforce is scheduled

Build the future of workforce scheduling

At Mayo Clinic, scheduling technology is more than an operational tool-it is essential to ensuring the right people are available in the right place at the right time to support exceptional patient care. As Director, Staff Scheduling Technology within the Office of Administrative Systems Transformation (OAST), you will shape the enterprise strategy, platforms, services, and teams that enable scheduling across one of the world's leading healthcare organizations.

This is a rare opportunity to lead at the intersection of healthcare operations, workforce strategy, and enterprise technology. With significant responsibility for UKG and integrated technologies, you will modernize the scheduling experience, simplify complex work, strengthen platform reliability, and use automation, analytics, and innovation to deliver measurable value for staff, leaders, and the patients they serve.

Your leadership will influence how work is designed, how teams are supported, and how Mayo Clinic prepares its workforce for the future, at enterprise scale.

What you will own and shape

• Define and execute a bold enterprise roadmap for scheduling technology that improves access, flexibility, efficiency, and the workforce experience.
• Shape investment priorities by connecting workforce strategy, operational needs, enterprise architecture, and the broader Administrative Systems strategy.

Vendor and strategic partner leadership

• Represent Mayo Clinic's enterprise requirements and influence vendor product direction.
• Evaluate emerging technologies against strategic, operational, technical, and financial requirements.

People and culture

• Inspire a culture of collaboration, curiosity, innovation, service, accountability, and continuous improvement.

You may be the right leader if...

You are energized by complex, mission-critical challenges and the opportunity to build something better. You combine enterprise vision with operational discipline, technical credibility, and a deep commitment to the people who use the technology every day. You can engage executives, understand frontline realities, challenge conventional thinking, and turn ambitious ideas into sustainable results.

• Strategic: You create a compelling vision and convert it into disciplined action.
• Technically credible: You ask incisive questions, evaluate tradeoffs, and make sound platform decisions.
• Operationally grounded: You understand how scheduling affects staff, leaders, workforce operations, and patient care.
• Customer obsessed: You design around the real needs of frontline staff and operational leaders.
• Transformational: You challenge assumptions, redesign work, and apply emerging technology with purpose.
• Collaborative and accountable: You build alignment, enable teams, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Bring your vision. Build what's next.

If you are ready to lead enterprise-scale transformation, shape a critical workforce capability, and improve how thousands of people experience their work, we invite you to bring your vision and expertise to Mayo Clinic. Here, your leadership can help teams work more effectively-and support the people who deliver exceptional care every day.

During the selection process you may participate in an OnDemand (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. During the OnDemand interview, a question will appear on your screen, and you will have time to consider each question before responding. You will have the opportunity to re-record your answer to each question - Mayo Clinic will only see the final recording. The complete interview will be reviewed by a Mayo Clinic staff member and you will be notified of next steps.
