Georgian is home to 13,000 full-time students. More than 130 career-focused programs are offered across seven locations in Central Ontario: Barrie, Midland, Muskoka (Bracebridge), Orangeville, Orillia, Owen Sound and South Georgian Bay (Collingwood). The College will soon begin to imagine its future through a community engaged strategic planning process.

The VP will be instrumental in contributing to the strategic planning process and should be a dynamic people leader who thrives in an environment that is undergoing transformative change to keep pace with the discerning needs of its community of students, staff, as well as community and industry partners. With strategy and change-making as core priorities for the People and Culture portfolio, the VP will contribute to achieving organizational goals through strategic implementation.

Reporting to the President, the VP provides strategic leadership, organizational development, planning, implementation, and operational excellence for all people-centred services that support and align with Georgian’s vision, mission and goals. The VP is a strategic HR advisor to leaders across the institution and a role model for Georgian’s values.

The VP will oversee the implementation of the strategic pillars that include adopting a human centered and heart driven approach to enhancing the employee experience; ensuring Georgian’s commitments to equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging are upheld and fostered; developing a framework to co-create and define a common Georgian College culture that inspires and rallies the community individually and collectively; strategically defining the competencies needed for the future to create an unrivaled experience and designing a strategic approach to attracting, recruiting and onboarding talented people to support Georgian’s aspirational culture and vision.

The innovative and results-driven leader will focus on enabling Georgian to meet its short, medium, and long-term strategic and operational goals, ensuring that the People and Culture portfolio is strategically aligned with the organization. Working collaboratively with senior leadership colleagues, the VP, People and Culture will focus on improving the employee experience, developing leadership capacity, increasing productivity and retention, and expanding talent pools.

This critically important centralized portfolio includes Human Resources Services, Organizational Learning and Development and the Centre for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB). The VP will help guide the change process, including developing and executing a people and culture strategy in support of the overall College business plan and strategic direction.

Georgian is proud of its strong labour and management relationships and the VP will be required to help maintain them.
