Job description

Title: HR Communications & HRIS Specialist

Position Type: Professional Tech Full time

College: Front Range Community College

Division: Organizational Development & Human Resources

Department:FRCC Organizational Development & Human Resources

Campus: Boulder County Campus

Location: Longmont

Salary Range:$60,280 - $63,294 annually

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

At FRCC, employees and leaders bring our values to life through their actions. We collaborate across roles and campuses, seek and value diverse perspectives, follow through on our commitments, and turn thoughtful ideas into meaningful improvements which are measured for success. We take pride in our work, support one another, and make decisions that advance student success, equity, and excellence. We seek people who will actively contribute to this culture and demonstrate these commitments every day.

Job Summary:

The HR Communications & HRIS Specialist advances Front Range Community College's strategic priorities by turning complex Organizational Development and Human Resources (ODHR) information into clear, timely, accessible, and actionable communications. The position serves as a strategic communication thought partner to the Vice President and ODHR leaders, maintains an integrated communication calendar, recommends the most effective channels for each audience, and develops coordinated communication packages for major initiatives, policy and process changes, and employee programs.

The position also establishes a consistent process for gathering departmental highlights, accomplishments, challenges, risks, progress updates, and emerging needs. It synthesizes that information into concise executive briefings and college facing updates so ODHR leadership can identify trends, ask informed questions, coordinate support, and clearly communicate the department's institutional impact. This work is information synthesis and communication support; it does not replace departmental project ownership or ODHR data analytics.

In addition, the HR Specialist provides limited college level coordination for shared ODHR platforms, digital content, and forms. Functional ODHR teams remain the subject matter experts and process owners for their respective PageUp modules. This position coordinates cross-functional issues, supports user guidance and content consistency, routes enterprise level requests through established governance, and partners with IT and other stakeholders to promote secure, accessible, and efficient digital practices.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer and synthesizer who exercises sound judgment, protects confidential information, builds trusted relationships across functional areas, and can move fluently between strategic communication, executive briefing, and practical systems coordination. The position requires regular on campus presence and travel among FRCC locations, with occasional remote work consistent with College expectations.
