The posting

Job Description

National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) is the national trade association that represents America’s nearly 900 electric cooperatives. America’s electric cooperatives power the lives of 42 million people across 56% of the American landscape, from rural communities to growing suburbs. Co-ops are not-for-profit, member-owned utilities, guided by the people they serve and focused on delivering reliable, affordable electricity that strengthens local communities. Based in Arlington, Virgina, NRECA works to advocate for electric co-op priorities in Washington, D.C. and ensures the long-term success of local co-ops and rural communities.

NRECA is a large and complex organization with diverse lines of business because its members rely on it for a breadth of mission-critical services that far exceed the federal advocacy scope of a typical national trade association. With 750 employees, the distinct and varied business operations of NRECA employ a wide variety of subject matter experts to address the unique needs of the members.

The SVP, Human Resources provides strategic leadership to the organization in partnership with executive management and the board of directors to:

  • Ensure the alignment of the human resources function with the association’s strategic goals and business needs.
  • Lead the human resources team to deliver strategically oriented programs and services that promote organizational health and employee growth.
  • Provide exceptional service in delivering organizational development and other essential programs with 16 Human Resources professionals.
  • Direct the following functions: organizational and leadership development, talent acquisition, talent management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, training, internal communications, and Human Resources information systems.

We are searching for a Human Resources leader who can strike a balance in leadership, embracing the values of a not-for-profit organization while setting clear performance expectations for delivering services to members. The opportunity to apply an enterprise-level approach to a mission-driven organization makes NRECA an ideal place for an Human Resources executive who is motivated by both business impact and community service. The position works out of NRECA’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia and requires the ability to travel to conferences and other office locations.

NRECA has engaged Boyden Executive Search to help us recruit the right leader. Please apply directly at [email protected].

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
