About the role

San Jose State University seeks a Personnel and Projects Specialist to support Academic Business and Strategic Operations (ABSO) and the Division of Academic Affairs with confidential personnel, project, and operational tasks. Under limited supervision, the role coordinates complex personnel processes, analyzes confidential information, supports division-wide projects and change initiatives, and serves as a liaison among People and Culture, DROs, managers, and unit analysts.

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.
