About The Position

We are seeking a strategic and operational program leader to oversee Talent Acquisition processes related to union recruitment in a limited-duration role (12 months). This position plays a critical role in navigating the complexities of recruiting, onboarding, offer adjustments, and administrative procedures aligned with union contracts. As bargaining agreements are finalized, the role will assess Talent Acquisition impacts, evaluate team readiness, and ensure smooth implementation of agreed-upon arrangements. The successful candidate will serve as the central point of contact for all union-related recruitment activities, ensuring seamless coordination and execution across stakeholders. This role partners closely with key Centers of Excellence (COEs)-including Compensation, Labor Relations, Benefits, PSP, and Legal-to align recruitment strategies with union requirements. Additionally, this position leads the configuration and optimization of recruiting systems and data workflows (e.g., iCIMS) to support union-specific processes, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and scalability. This is a limited duration(12 months), remote role that requires occasional meetings at Legacy's System Office. All new hires are required to come to a designated Legacy Health office location in Portland, Oregon prior to their start date for a new hire health assessment and to complete new hire paperwork. As the largest nonprofit health system serving the Portland-Southwest Washington and mid-Willamette Valley areas, Legacy Health provides a range of services - we have six hospitals, one of which includes a center solely dedicated to children's care, Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel. We run more than 70 primary care, specialty and urgent care clinics, employ nearly 3,000 doctors and providers and more than 13,000 employees. We also operate labs and a research center. Our major partnerships include those with PacificSource Health Plans and the Unity Center for Behavioral Health, a one-of-a-kind center for people facing a mental health crisis that is collaboratively operated between four regional health systems and numerous community partners.
