This is not your average higher education human resources leadership role. At CampusWorks, we partner with colleges and universities to transform the way HR delivers value — and we’re looking for a proven HR executive to serve as onsite Chief Human Resources Officer and trusted consultants. 

In this unique role, you’ll bring your expertise as a higher ed HR leader to: 
• Elevate your impact by serving simultaneously as a CHRO and consultant. 
• Lead HR transformation initiatives that improve service delivery, compliance, and employee experience. 
• Design and implement HR strategies and systems that align with institutional goals and strengthen culture. 
• Partner directly with senior leadership and stakeholders to drive change, engagement, and accountability. 
• Stay connected to CampusWorks’ national network of experts and resources while making a lasting impact locally. 

A hybrid presence may be required with frequent travel to client locations.
  • Unlike a traditional CHRO role, this opportunity lets you: 
  • Expand your reach — leverage your higher education HR expertise while serving as a strategic advisor and change leader. 
  • Drive transformation — guide institutions through modernization of HR systems, processes, and culture. 
  • Balance leadership and consulting — manage day-to-day HR operations while influencing strategy at the executive level. 
  • 10+ years of progressive HR leadership with at least 5 years as the head of HR in a higher education institution. 
  • A proven record of transforming HR services and delivery in higher education. 
  • Strong knowledge of HR systems (HCM, ATS, payroll/benefits) and compliance requirements. 
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and change management skills. 
  • Agility to navigate politically sensitive environments and shifting priorities. 

  • Preferred: Master’s degree and/or SPHR/SHRM-SCP certification. 
  • This is your chance to elevate your career — moving beyond a traditional HR leadership role to shape the future of HR in higher education while making a direct impact on the institutions we serve.
