Post date: July 7, 2025

At the J. Willard Marriott Library, our mission is to inspire the creation, discovery, and use of knowledge for Utah and the world. We are the flagship academic library for the Utah State System of Higher Education and located in the heart of the University of Utah campus.

We are seeking someone who is highly organized, detail oriented, and has excellent communication skills to join the Library HR Team. We serve approximately 40 faculty, 120 staff, and 100 student employees. If you are interested in HR, student affairs, higher education administration, libraries/museums, and/or nonprofit management as a career, this may be a great opportunity to enter or develop in any of those fields. In this role you would get broad exposure to the administrative functioning of a complex academic unit. As the Workforce Operations Coordinator, you will be responsible for all activities related to student employment, including recruitment, onboarding, and retention. You will be the first point of contact for our student employees. As such, it is important for you to build a good rapport with our students, help them feel welcomed as employees of the library, and communicate our commitment to their success as employees of the library and students at the university.

As a member of the Library HR team, you will assist in other responsibilities, including the recruitment of benefited staff and faculty, onboarding new employees, serving as the primary payroll reporter, and collaborating on special projects such as data collection/analysis and revamping procedures. 

To be successful in this position, you will need to carry out these responsibilities in a well-structured manner paying attention to small, but important details. In addition, you will need to demonstrate the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with different audiences and problem-solve complicated situations as they arise. This position requires someone who can handle sensitive matters with sound judgment, tact, and diplomacy; you will be expected to maintain confidentiality with private information such as student records, employee pay details, and other personnel issues. 

This position is currently designed as a hybrid of on-campus and remote work. Specific telecommuting arrangements will be based on the needs of the position and authorized at the discretion of the supervisor.

We seek qualified applicants who bring perspectives and experiences that will enrich and strengthen our organization and enhance our commitment to access and belonging. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including those who may not have followed a traditional educational or professional path.

The University will not sponsor a work visa for this position.

All applications received by July 16, 2025 will receive full consideration.

Salary: $48,000-51,000/year
