This executive leadership role is pivotal in ensuring that total rewards strategies are competitive, fiscally responsible, compliant, and aligned with the institution's long-term goals.

They will also play a key role in shaping the institution's compensation philosophy and ensuring that total rewards programs drive employee engagement, retention, and organizational excellence. Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, with a Master’s degree preferred, and at least 15 years of progressive leadership experience in compensation and total rewards, including a minimum of 7 years in an executive leadership role.
