At ACC, every employee is focused and responsible for student success. We promote a culture of inclusivity and innovation through individualized support, passionate employees, and a welcoming environment. Hands on experiences and personalized attention make learning come alive at ACC enabling our diverse community of students and staff to develop the knowledge and skills they need to reach their academic and career goals. Since 1965, ACC has supported a culture of achievement and has been the place of choice for people who want to Move Mountains.

ACC seeks applicants who understand and have first-hand experience working with diverse populations, which may include but are not limited to, historically marginalized populations such as people of color, LGBTQ+ community members, veterans, first generation graduates, and people with disabilities.

The Assistant Director manages all Human Resources (HR) systems and technical operations within the Office of Human Resources including employee onboarding, personnel actions, life cycle maintenance, time and leave processing, HR payroll processing, and HR data analysis for internal and external customers. This role is responsible for the integrity of all HR data and is the primary resource for extracting and reporting out data used by leadership to make data-informed decisions.  This position supports the  Office of Human Resources under general supervision and direction of the Executive Director of Human Resources.  

You may be a bit of a unicorn, but we are seeking candidates with HR knowledge, solid technical and HR systems experience with a proven track record managing a nimble HR Tech team.  A successful candidate holds teamwork and customer service in the highest regard when working directly with the HR team and our colleagues across the campus and considers themselves:  

Analytically Minded: able to tell a story with data. Understanding unique requirements, ensuring data clarity and accessibility of information for the institution's leadership supporting informed decision-making.   

Customer Centric: being customer centric in HR is more than just delivering services; it's about creating a positive and supportive experience for all.  

Strategically Forward Thinking: staying up-to date on industry trends with the ability to reimagine processes answering the question "how can we do it more efficiently, cost effective and user friendly for our customers?" 

We welcome and value the identities and experiences of our students, staff, faculty, and surrounding communities. We seek to engage and support historically marginalized groups whom higher education has traditionally failed to serve. We work to foster an equitable and inclusive learning and work environment that supports our students and employees through professional development, programming, reflection, and transformational change of ACC practices, procedures, services, and teaching. We collectively commit to holding ourselves accountable to our equity goals through assessing these efforts with multiple strategies that include voices of those impacted by this work.
