Role Description: The Director of Human Resources and Staff Experience is a new position that will play a critical role at CSE, creating a positive experience throughout the employee life cycle, from building diverse talent pipelines and running a rigorous, equitable hiring process, to managing HR systems and compliance, to advancing our equity commitments, to ensuring that remote, hybrid and in-person work arrangements are thoughtfully designed and supported, to supporting staff growth and development throughout their time at CSE. We believe the most meaningful HR work is people-centered, relationship-driven and grounded in our mission, values, and core commitments. This role expands our capacity to fulfill our mission by strengthening employee support, improving HR operations and helping ensure our practices remain equitable, responsive and compliant. This role will also work closely with our staff on both equity and organizational culture initiatives.
