Position Information

  • Marquette University seeks an experienced and collaborative leader to be its Vice President for Human Resources (VPHR). Reporting to the Executive Vice President (EVP)/Chief Operating Officer (COO), the VPHR will provide strategic leadership and oversight of the University’s human resources efforts to assist Marquette in its vision to be among the most accomplished and innovative Catholic and Jesuit universities in the world.

    Marquette is one of 28 Catholic, Jesuit universities in the United States and is the largest private university in Wisconsin. Its attractive 90-plus-acre campus on the edge of Milwaukee’s downtown is home to a highly collegial community with more than 2,800 employees and a current enrollment at approximately 11,400 students.
     
    In 2024, Dr. Kimo Ah Yun was unanimously elected the 25th president of Marquette University by the Marquette Board of Trustees. Joel Pogodzinski, Marquette’s EVP/COO, joined the University in 2017 as the Chief Financial Officer. In 2031, Marquette University will celebrate 150 years of serving God by delivering to its students a transformative education rooted in its Catholic, Jesuit mission. Heading into this milestone, the University remains committed to its mission, vision, and guiding values.

    Leveraging the commitment from university leadership and the rest of the campus community, Marquette is currently executing on its ambitious strategic plan, https://www.marquette.edu/2031/documents/strategic-plan-marquette-2031-web-2.pdf. This plan will bolster Marquette’s promise to delivering transformational education and student experiences and will ensure the campus thrives in a dynamic moment in higher education. The VPHR will join Marquette at a critical time for human capital and will provide the bold thinking necessary to assist the president, provost, EVP/COO, and campus community in delivering on this plan.

    The VPHR will work in close partnership with the EVP/COO to provide a strategic human capital vision that complements the financial and operational plans for the campus, while ensuring a high level of innovation, transparency, collaboration, and accountability. The VPHR will ensure that human resource goals and processes are clearly established and communicated to the campus community and are in support of Marquette’s Catholic and Jesuit mission. The VPHR will have primary responsibility for Marquette’s development and implementation of human resource policies and programs including employee relations, compensation, employee benefits, recruitment and retention, training and organizational development, performance management and human resource information systems.

    Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process. Inquiries, nominations, referrals, and applications (resumes with cover letters) should be sent via the Isaacson, Miller website. For best consideration, apply by June 6, 2025.
