Human Resources Director

City of Irving • Full-time • Irving, Texas, United States • $155.23k - $218.87k / year • 1d ago

Irving is home to a thriving community of an estimated 263,720 residents who enjoy the perfect blend of modern amenities and rich cultural diversity. Nestled strategically between the Dallas/Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field airports, Irving is a dynamic economic hub that attracts business from around the world. In Irving, the energy of progress meets the charm of community, making it a truly extraordinary place to live, work and play.

The Human Resources department supports the city’s mission, vision, and values by attracting and recruiting a qualified, competent and diverse workforce to deliver exceptional services to Irving residents, visitors, and businesses. The Human Resources department consists of two collaborative work teams who deliver exceptional talent and workforce services.

The City of Irving seeks a forward-thinking leader with strong decision-making skills to serve as its next Human Resources Director. The chosen candidate will hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and must have eight or more years of progressive leadership experience in a department of comparable size and complexity. Previous experience as a Director, Assistant Director or equivalent senior leadership position is required. A master’s degree from an accredited college or university and successful completion of an advanced Human Resources Certification program are preferred qualifications. Knowledge of Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 143 and the administration of civil service hiring, promotions, and discipline are required as both Irving Fire and Police Departments operate under this code. As the Irving Fire Department has recently become approved to enter into collective agreements, experience in an organization with collective bargaining is preferred.

The ideal candidate will be very familiar with employee benefit laws and regulations and will be able to make knowledgeable recommendations regarding changes to benefit packages to comply with current regulations to attract and retain employees at a competitive cost. The Director will lead a premier Human Resources team to help attract and retain the most qualified applicants for the City of Irving. Because many employees in key positions are or will soon be eligible for retirement, the Director will be responsible for the design and implementation of sound succession planning strategy to prepare staff for leadership roles. Experience in succession planning and recruitment is preferred.

The City of Irving offers a competitive salary of $155,232 – $218,868 dependent upon qualifications and experience.
