Executive Director

The Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) is searching for an Executive Director. The Executive Director serves as the full-time agency head and chief executive officer for the part-time three-person citizen commission appointed by the Governor. This position will offer challenge and opportunity to a seasoned executive with extensive labor relations experience.

PERC is an independent state agency created to implement Washington State's eleven collective bargaining laws and resolve public-sector labor relations disputes. PERC has jurisdiction over collective bargaining for public employers in Washington. PERC mediates and adjudicates disputes, determines appropriate bargaining unit configurations and conducts representation elections, and provides training and other conflict prevention services.

Serving as chief executive officer, the Executive Director is responsible for the impartial administration of state statutes regulating collective bargaining in the public sector. The Executive Director has the overall administrative responsibility for the day-to-day operation of a dual-purpose agency that provides services approximating those of both the National Labor Relations Board and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

Key Job Responsibilities :

  • Management of effective and efficient mediation services.
  • Management of effective and efficient adjudication services.
  • Management of effective and efficient representation / unit clarification matters.
  • Management of effective and efficient training and conflict prevention services.
  • Management and oversight of approximately 800 cases filed annually.
  • Day-to-day oversight, leadership and management of PERC staff, including its management team.
  • Preparation and administration of agency budget (currently $12 million per biennium).
  • Legislative relations concerning both budget and substantive statutory issues.
  • Decision-making authority on representation and unit clarification cases.
  • Decision-making authority on preliminary rulings in unfair labor practice.
  • Direction of outreach and external relations, including educating stakeholders on legal and procedural matters.
  • Development of policy, including administrative rules for consideration by the Commission.
  • Administration of agency and staff performance measures.
  • Certification of issues for interest arbitration.
  • Ensure compliance with the Public Records Act.
  • Administration of compliance proceedings, ensuring that orders from agency staff and the Commission are remedied.
  • Represent agency at conferences and with other entities.

Desired Education and Qualifications :

  • Senior-level experience as a manager and leader. Management experience in an agency comparable to PERC is desirable.
  • A commitment to impartiality, collective bargaining, and mediation of disputes.
  • Outstanding communications skills both in written and oral form.
  • Public sector labor relations experience, or experience under the National Labor Relations Act, or other similar federal labor law statutes.
  • Candidates with a law degree and / or formal education in industrial relations or related fields may be given preference.
  • Ability to deal with a dynamic environment and complex issues.
  • Capacity to employ originality in conceiving and putting into operation theories of law, practice and procedure which may often be novel.
  • Familiarity or experience with the legislature and legislative process.
  • Integrity : This is a position of significant responsibility and trust. The Executive Director must be committed to upholding the agency's neutral administration of collective bargaining statutes. The Executive Director does this while observing high stands of professionalism, and setting examples for others by maintaining high, ethical standards.

    Fairness : The Executive Director must maintain an open and positive working relationship with stakeholders, the legislature, the executive branch, and other public officers and agencies, while fully and fairly enforcing collective bargaining laws.

    Providing Strategic and Visionary Leadership : The Executive Director must be able to provide creative, confident, thoughtful, and insightful leadership and guidance to the organization. The Executive Director must commit to upholding the agency's mission to provide "expert, impartial, and timely resolution of labor-management disputes so that any disruption to public services is prevented or limited." The Executive Director must provide leadership to the agency's dedicated staff, providing them with leadership, consistent internal communication, transparent decision-making, and setting clear and consistent performance measures, goals and standards. The Executive Director is charged with attracting, developing, and retaining a strong staff.

    Compensation : $159,948 - $205,656 annually, depending on qualifications. Outstanding benefits including health, dental, life and long-term disability insurance, vacation, sick, military and civil leave, dependent care assistance program, employee assistance program, deferred compensation plans, educational benefits program, 11 paid holidays, Commute Trip Reduction Incentives, flexible work hours, training, and state retirement plans.

    Qualified individuals interested in this position must submit the following information :

    1. A letter of interest specifically addressing the desired education, experience, and qualifications mentioned in this job announcement.

    2. A current resume.

    Persons requiring reasonable accommodation in the application process or requiring information in an alternate format may contact Human Resources at 360-570-7318.
