The successful candidate will be responsible for fostering a culture of continuous improvement, change management, and cultural redirection that aligns with the institution's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This role is pivotal in overseeing the creation and sustaining of programs to attract and retain top talent, as well as building the company's reputation as an innovative and inclusive employer of choice.
