Complexities

The HR Manager is responsible for providing confidential, professional guidance to the GIM Administrator and Division Head as well as Principal Investigators and Supervisors. This position requires discretion, exercising independent judgement, and decision-making authority in handling confidential administrative, personnel, and other issues related to the Division.
The Division of GIM currently has 85 staff. Staff recruitments occur throughout the year to fill staff positions at multiple sites, including UWMC, HMC, and other locations throughout Seattle. The HR Manager position must have up-to-date knowledge of policies and procedures regarding staff employment and compliance.
