Job Description

At Children’s, the region’s only full‑service pediatric healthcare center, our people make us the very best for kids. Come cultivate your passion, purpose and professional development in an environment of excellence and inclusion, where team members are supported and deeply valued. Opportunities for career growth abound as we grow our services and spaces, including the cutting‑edge Hubbard Center for Children.

Children's is committed to diversity and inclusion. We are an equal opportunity employer including veterans and people with disabilities.

The Organization Development Advisor partners with leaders across Children's Nebraska to diagnose organizational challenges, design targeted engagements, and facilitate change that builds lasting capability in service of our mission to improve the life of every child. This role is a cornerstone of how we live our People First Promise: building an organization where every team member feels a deep sense of purpose, belonging, growth, and wellbeing, and where our ICARE values are not aspirational words but daily, observable practice.

Working closely with the Director of Talent & Organization Development and in direct partnership with the People Strategy Advisor team, the OD Advisor brings a rigorous consulting orientation to how we develop leaders, strengthen teams, and build an organization that consistently lives its ICARE values and inspires leaders to deliver on the People First Promise. This role calls for someone who has demonstrated the hard work of developing themselves as a practitioner reflecting on experience, learning from it, and being changed by it.

They understand organizations as interconnected systems, approach every engagement by understanding the situation before designing solutions, and leaves leaders and teams more capable of meeting future challenges.

  • Approaches each engagement through the lens of whole‑systems thinking that utilizes diagnostic methods including, but not limited to, structured interviews, focus groups, and data analysis to develop a clear picture of what is driving a situation.
  • Uses foundational OD frameworks to distinguish between transformational drivers and transactional symptoms, and to identify the highest‑leverage involvement points. Maintains an iterative, action‑research orientation throughout engagements: diagnosis informs action, action informs further diagnosis, and the leader is a co‑partner throughout.
  • Brings disciplined observation and situational awareness to every engagement, attending closely to group dynamics, relational patterns, and what goes unspoken. Models the Respect value by ensuring all voices are heard and treated with equity and compassion and treats those observations as meaningful diagnostic information that shapes how the work unfolds.
• Engagement Design & Facilitation
  • Designs OD engagements such as team development, leadership effectiveness programs, process improvement, culture shaping initiatives, and change efforts that are tailored to the specific situation.
  • Draws from a broad OD methodology repertoire and selects approaches based on what the system actually needs, in alignment with our ICARE values and the People First Promise, with the goal of creating conditions where people feel they belong, their voice matters, and their contributions are seen.
  • Facilitates complex group processes with the presence and adaptability to hold space through difficulty, conflict, disagreement, and ambiguity.
  • Designs for sustainability: builds engagements that strengthen the organization’s own capacity to address similar challenges in the future and develops practical leader resources that extend impact beyond the Talent & OD team’s direct involvement.
