THE DEPARTMENT & THE JOB

The Human Resources (HR) Department manages all of SPLA’s HR functions, including labor relations, workers’ compensation, reasonable accommodation, risk management (occupational health and safety), employee leave programs, equity-diversity-inclusion, labor compliance, payroll and benefit services, recruitment and selection, classification and compensation, and organizational development and training. This growing Department currently has seven staff, not including this role, but will undergo a restructuring in the near future.

The HR Manager II oversees a variety of labor relations and HR compliance issues, while serving as a subject matter expert to fellow HR staff and department heads. They will work closely with the Library Director & CEO to make important decisions for the HR Department, such as organizational structure changes and staff oversight responsibilities. They will focus on leading their team in union relations, meet and confer challenges, and contract negotiations. This position also provides oversight for employee benefits administration and return to work, HRIS administration, and compliance, with touchpoints pertaining to payroll and CALPERS. They will be tech-savvy, ensuring the library stays up to date on the latest technologies while also developing effective processes and systems. The SPLA is eager to find an exemplary leader who has exceptional transactional HR knowledge and skills who can make this position their own and champion an effective labor relations process!

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate does not need to have experience working in a library, but will have labor relations, contract negotiation, employee benefits, and local government experience. They will use a high degree of accuracy, independent judgment, and discretionary decision-making with respect to interpretation of Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution, and Public Employment Relations Board rulings, in addition to SPLA policies and procedures. The successful candidate will enjoy the autonomy this position allows, along with the unique challenges of working with two bargaining units. They will be results-oriented, flexible to change, and customer-service-focused. The next HR Manager II will also have the ability to analyze complex HR issues and use strategic thinking to develop sound and creative solutions. Strong interpersonal skills to establish effective working relationships with department managers, public officials, employees, and their representatives is a must!
