Position Summary

The College of Veterinary Medicine's Veterinary Medical Center is recruiting an experienced human resources professional who thrives in a complex, fast-paced environment. As a trusted partner to the Director of the Veterinary Medical Center and hospital leadership, this position provides strategic human resources leadership while fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, professional growth, and excellence.

The Human Resources Manager serves as the senior human resources leader for the Veterinary Medical Center and is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing HR priorities for the hospital. The position provides high-level consultation and expertise to hospital leadership, managers, supervisors, and employees on complex and sensitive matters, including employee relations, performance management, conflict resolution, organizational change, compensation, recruitment strategy, and workforce planning.

A key responsibility of this position is strengthening leadership effectiveness across the VMC. The Human Resources Manager coaches and advises supervisors and managers, identifies leadership development needs, and develops or coordinates training and resources that strengthen leadership, communication, performance management, and employee engagement.

The Human Resources Manager serves as the primary VMC contact for complex employee relations and conflict resolution matters involving central Human Resources and support staff union groups. The position participates in strategic and workforce planning; leads the implementation of HR initiatives, best practices, processes, and system changes; and works collaboratively with College and University Human Resources.

The position supervises the VMC HR/Finance Analyst and provides oversight of unit-level HR operations, including recruitment and hiring processes, onboarding, payroll-related activities, employee records, HR transactions, and workforce reporting.

This position works closely with the College Human Resources Manager and reports directly to the Director of the Veterinary Medical Center.

Primary Responsibilities

• Provide strategic HR leadership and serve as a trusted advisor to the VMC Director, hospital leadership, managers, and supervisors.
• Lead and manage complex employee relations matters, including performance concerns, workplace conflict, corrective action, and other sensitive personnel issues.
• Advise and coach supervisors and managers on effective leadership, employee engagement, performance management, communication, conflict resolution, and organizational change.
• Develop, coordinate, and implement leadership and supervisory training and professional development initiatives across the Veterinary Medical Center.
• Partner with hospital leadership on workforce planning, recruitment strategy, organizational structure, compensation, retention, succession planning, and other strategic workforce priorities.
• Serve as the primary VMC liaison with College and University Human Resources and support staff union groups on complex employee relations and labor matters.
• Lead the development and implementation of HR priorities, policies, processes, best practices, and system changes within the Veterinary Medical Center.
• Provide oversight and approval, as appropriate, for unit-level HR transactions and ensure HR processes are accurate, timely, compliant, and consistently applied.
• Supervise, develop, and provide direction to the VMC HR/Finance Analyst responsible for day-to-day HR operations and designated financial support activities.
• Analyze workforce trends and HR metrics to identify needs, support decision-making, and recommend improvements.
• Support organizational change initiatives and help hospital leadership effectively communicate and implement changes affecting employees.
• Promote a workplace culture consistent with University and College values and the mission of the Veterinary Medical Center.
