Human Resources Director

HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR

The City of Irving seeks a forward-thinking leader with strong decision-making skills to serve as its next Human Resources Director. 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.

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. Experience in succession planning and recruitment is preferred. 

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 also 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.
