About the role

The City of Stockton is seeking a Deputy Director of Human Resources to lead multi-area HR programs, including workforce planning, benefits, risk services and labor relations. You will direct staff, ensure compliance with laws, and coordinate with city leadership to implement strategic HR initiatives. Qualified candidates will have a Bachelor's degree in a related field and at least five years of professional HR experience with two years in management, ideally in a public agency setting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
