Job Architecture Project
The architecture is a multi-year project to design and implement a comprehensive job structure and to create a pay structure for A/P faculty jobs across the university that reflect competitive market data. The A/P faculty job architecture will illustrate career paths to assist managers and A/P faculty with workforce and career planning and will provide the basis for a transition to more consistent, equitable, and transparent compensation practices.
This project reflects Virginia Tech’s strategic priority to Be a Destination for Talent and our commitment to our Principles of Community.
This project brings value to Virginia Tech by:
- Creating the additional structure for A/P Faculty to align market-based compensation to support the university's goal of becoming a destination for talent
- Providing employees with career mapping information by classifying A/P Faculty positions into functions, sub-functions, disciplines, and levels
- Introducing consistent job titling methodology within functions of A/P Faculty positions
- Producing a valid set of position summaries and related qualifications for recruitment resources
This project will:
- Create a job architecture of functions, sub-functions, disciplines, and levels and apply them to A/P Faculty Positions
- Use the job architecture to identify market-based pay information
- Adapt Banner and PageUp systems to store and enter job architecture and market-based pay information
- Populate the Data Warehouse to enable reporting of job architecture and market-based pay information
- Produce a website and web tool to facilitate career mapping, pay transparency, and provide additional resources for recruitment
