Job Description

 

Ranked as one of the world’s Top 100 universities, McMaster University is devoted to the cultivation of human potential, realized through our innovative educational programs cutting-edge research, and the diverse students, faculty, staff and alumni who make up the McMaster family. Dedicated to creating a Brighter World, we recognize that our people are our most valuable resource. Those who join McMaster will find a community of talented individuals who are inspired by the university's commitment to embodying the values of integrity, quality, inclusiveness and teamwork. It is through these talented individuals, their creativity and drive for results that McMaster University has earned its reputation as being Canada's most innovative university. 

 

The Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS), the largest Faculty within McMaster, has an unwavering commitment to collaboration, strategic partnerships, accountability, innovation, excellence, integrity and optimism. Our pioneering approaches to education and our reputation for world-class research has consistently placed McMaster among the top 50 universities in the world for health and medicine.  The Faculty enjoys close relationships with its academic hospital partners, as well as strong collaborations with researchers in Canada and around the world. Those who join FHS will find a community of 5,400 talented individuals who are inspired by the Faculty’s strategic priorities and impact.   

 

Critical to the continued success of FHS is a strong foundation of co-operative operational and administrative excellence.  The Human Resources department within FHS aims to deliver strategic value by supporting the Faculty, in collaboration with key partners and stakeholders across the University.  The Faculty has unique HR needs because of its size, the complexity of its operations, integration with clinical environments and diverse employee roles.  The HR team within FHS must understand and embrace these complexities, while supporting the alignment and integration of HR functionality with central campus, with a focus on accountability, service excellence and strategy execution.

 

The Faculty is seeking a Director of Human Resources to join its senior leadership team and champion the alignment of human resources services with Faculty and University strategies.  The ideal candidate has demonstrated the ability to balance their sound knowledge of HR functions with the ability to be a true client-facing business partner.  Reporting to the Assistant Vice-President & CAO of FHS, and serving as a member of the Faculty’s Operations Group of senior administrative leaders, the Director will work in tandem with key stakeholders to develop a people strategy for FHS that will build and mobilize capacity in alignment with McMaster’s mission, vision and values, and with central human resources.  Critical to the success of this role is a proven history of relationship management and the ability to foster and sustain a collaborative culture while advocating for the needs of FHS across the University.  The Director will demonstrate the capacity to adapt to a changing environment, seek opportunities to add value, navigate complexities, enable novel approaches to achieve Faculty and Departmental needs, and deliver operational excellence.   The Director will foster a continuous improvement mindset across the team, leveraging HR technology to ensure optimal utilization of all resources.

 

The successful candidate has at least ten years of experience in a senior HR leadership position, ideally embedded in a healthcare or academic setting.  You are a top performer in your current role with a proven track record of collaborative leadership, talent development, long-term strategic planning, effective execution of change management principles, efficient operational management, and strong productive partnerships, resulting in satisfied stakeholders and a capacity to exceed expectations. Using a combination of both education and experience, you have led a successful culture transformation within a large complex organization and have worked to create an empowered HR team focused on driving employee engagement.  Acting as a change agent, you empower others through empathy, respect and optimism while consistently challenging and confronting inequity and exclusion within employment practices and actions. You have demonstrated experience in creating and leveraging workforce data and external and internal trends to proactively formulate recommendations and implementable people strategies to address strategic issues. You will ensure that the FHS HR unit strengthens the reputation of the Faculty and University by providing strategic leadership to the team through the creation of a compelling vision and ensure that the necessary tools and supports are in place to enable the team to succeed.
