Shape the Future of a Premier Silicon Valley City

The City of Milpitas — the Crossroads of Silicon Valley — is seeking an experienced, collaborative human resources professional to serve as its next Human Resources Director.

Home to more than 82,000 residents and to companies including Cisco Systems, KLA, Western Digital, and Amazon, Milpitas is a full-service, general law city with a Council-Manager form of government, a $292.3 million budget, and 451 funded positions across 14 departments. Reporting to the City Manager and serving on the Executive Leadership Team, the Human Resources Director leads a team of eight and a department budget of $2.59 million, directing recruitment and selection, classification and compensation, benefits administration, workers' compensation, training, employee relations, and labor negotiations with the City's five bargaining units.

The timing is exceptional: the City has launched Phase 2 of its Tyler Munis ERP implementation for HR and Payroll, with a go-live date of January 2027, and the incoming Director will lead the organization through this transformation from day one. If you are a hands-on, working director who builds strong teams and stronger relationships, we want to meet you.
