POSITION SUMMARY: This role offers the opportunity to build and strengthen the YMCA’s human resources function for the future. The Director will assess current HR practices and workforce needs, identify priorities, and develop a thoughtful, phased approach to advancing the organization’s people strategy. Key opportunities include modernizing HR systems and practices, strengthening manager and leadership capability, developing sustainable compensation and career structures, improving performance management, enhancing the employee experience, and building workforce and succession strategies that support the organization’s long-term direction.
 
The Director will balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution. While ensuring that day-to-day HR responsibilities are performed effectively, consistently, and in compliance with applicable requirements, the Director will also look beyond immediate needs to identify opportunities for organizational improvement and build scalable, sustainable people practices.
 
Success in this role requires a leader who is comfortable building while operating—someone who can address today’s employee and organizational needs while creating the systems, leadership practices, and people strategy the YMCA will need tomorrow. Through partnership, coaching, data, and thoughtful leadership change, the Director will help create an environment where employees can achieve, contribute, develop, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
