For the 12th time in 13 years, Taylor has been ranked No. 1 in the Midwest by US News & World Report’s survey of America’s Best Colleges, and ranked in the top three for the last 23 years.

The Role

Under the direction of the Chief of Staff, the Director of Human Resources and Title IX Coordinator provides strategic leadership and direction for recruiting, developing, motivating, and evaluating Taylor University’s human capital. This hands-on position is responsible for leading all human resources operations, programs, and services for administrators, faculty, staff, and students and in coordinating the University’s Title IX program. This position advances Taylor’s Christian mission and seeks to build a national model for what it means to be a thriving workplace culture in the context of Christ-centered higher education.

Major Roles for the Director

As the University’s Chief Human Resources Officer, the Director oversees a number of strategic areas for Taylor, which fall into five major categories.

Recruiting and HR Strategy

The Director will leverage his/her expertise to lead employee recruitment and workforce planning. She or he will identify and facilitate cross-functional opportunities to meet key initiatives, including but not limited to recruiting talented and diverse faculty and staff and increasing faculty and staff engagement.

The Director will lead the employee onboarding process that creates and enhances a campus culture that advances Taylor’s distinctive mission and sustains a workplace where people feel valued.

Title IX and Compliance

The Director serves as the University’s Title IX Coordinator and ensures the University remains in compliance with all governmental and

Senior campus leaders at Taylor must exhibit strong interpersonal and communication skills, and we are looking for a leader who has all of the requisite technical knowledge along with the ability to build and develop teams that will advance the University’s human resources strategy in the years ahead.

We seek a person with demonstrated talent in leading and inspiring positive change and organizational innovation. The Director will need to embody sound judgment, the highest ethical standards, and a 
commitment to the ideals for Christian living and leadership. The ideal candidate will have experience in several key areas such as leading teams and managing in a complex organization (ideally a nonprofit organization).
