Human Resources Manager
SUMMARY
Lick-Wilmerding High School is a private school with public purpose, serving 550 students in grades 9-12 in San Francisco. Since its founding in 1895 as a vocational school, Lick-Wilmerding has built upon a long tradition of valuing and integrating the liberal arts, sciences, technical arts, visual arts and performing arts to offer a robust college-prep curriculum. Today, the LWHS curriculum is both a catalyst and a vehicle for civic engagement, and the Public Purpose Program offers students the opportunity to contribute their time, talent, and treasure through partnerships with community organizations. Students demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to their communities, the motivation to deeply explore their interests, and a desire to positively impact the lives of others.
Lick-Wilmerding High School currently seeks an experienced human resources (HR) manager who will serve as the school’s primary HR representative. Working closely with the dean of faculty, director of athletics, and dean of equity and inclusion, the HR manager will provide hands-on support in the hiring, onboarding, and offboarding of faculty, staff, and coaches. The HR manager will also facilitate payroll and benefits administration, develop employee policies and procedures, and implement a staff performance management plan.
The HR manager will report directly to the chief financial and operations officer who currently oversees HR for the school in partnership with an external HR consulting firm. Once onboarded, the HR manager will ensure that HR functions remain primarily in-house, but will still have access to external consultants for administrative support on specific HR-related projects. Likewise, the HR manager will work with the controller and staff accountant in the school business office to reconcile payroll and benefits.
In addition to having experience implementing HR best practices, successful candidates would also demonstrate a commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion, and an eagerness to collaborate with colleagues as an active member of the larger school community. The growth path for this role is a director-level HR position, which would come with expanded responsibility following a successful tenure as the HR manager. Lick-Wilmerding looks forward to welcoming an HR manager later this spring or early summer.
