Job Summary

The University of Colorado Boulder encourages applications for two Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leadership Training Managers / Senior Training Managers! Both positions report to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (SVC-DEI), with strong connections to the training and development unit of Human Resources. The positions will design and deliver training programs that focus on skills, behaviors, and practices critical to facilitating individual, collective, and organizational capacity to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion primarily through a shared equity leadership approach.
Specific functions include delivery, coordination and evaluation of new and existing training programs. These positions research, design, and implement trainings. These positions will focus on the higher-level competencies needed for University managers and leadership to advance shared equity leadership and will not address foundational or introductory topics such as language and definitions, implicit bias, or microaggressions, common to one-time, episodic or a-la-carte trainings. For example, a training program for first-time supervisors might address how they are capable of "busting bias" in a range of functions (e.g., performance appraisal, communications, talent acquisition); or, how experienced leaders can enact a shared equity leadership approach to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into unit priorities. These positions will establish trusting relationships and work closely with existing training units (e.g., Human Resources, Center for Teaching and Learning) to examine the current landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion training for CU Boulder and revise and build new learning and development modules and experiences that align with the organization's application of shared equity leadership.
Incumbents will apply the work done by the University of Southern California's Pullias Center to advance Shared Equity Leadership (SEL) alongside a range of competency models and frameworks (e.g., NASPA/ACPA Professional Competencies, Leadership Reconsidered, Multicultural Organizational Development) to develop transformational higher education leaders at every level of the institution who are capable of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective areas and beyond. This work will address the personal, collective, and structures and systems work needed to activate and sustain institutional change and transformation. This will require delivering courses, working with small groups to practice applying new knowledge, developing toolkits and providing feedback, and evaluating the process.
Ideal candidates for this role will demonstrate skill for developing leaders for organizational change and working in large complex institutions. They should have deep diversity, equity, and inclusion competence with direct experience delivering and assessing trainings related to the following thematic areas: inclusive and equity-minded leadership; employee development; cultivating capacity for successful DEI leadership in (higher) education or related contexts; and building foundational anti-racist leadership competencies. Successful candidates will be able to speak specifically to these experiences in their cover letter, application materials, and interviews.
The Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion's (OSVC-DEI) team values align with the shared equity leadership model. Examples of these values include transparency, vulnerability, accountability, mutuality, humility, love and care, courage, and creativity and innovation. We expect the incumbent(s) to demonstrate many of these values for shared equity leadership in their work (e.g., advising University managers and senior leadership, facilitating training and development workshops, interactions with fellow OSVC-DEI team members, constituents in the CU Boulder campus community, and members of the local, regional, and national communities).
