HUIT staff work in a variety of technical and administrative roles, including on-campus and flexible positions, with opportunities for development and connection to a community of IT professionals across the University. We are committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation where all employees feel empowered to do their best work.

Life at HUIT

Experience

Members of our team play a central role in shaping the employee experience and building a user-focused, collaborative, innovative, and open working environment. Key initiatives include the Staff Council, an independent, self-directed group that partners with senior leadership in thinking about the employee experience; and the Emerging Technology and Innovation Program, which invites staff to identify, test, and assess new technologies for pilot proposals. Regular all-staff Town Halls and social events offer opportunities for connection with colleagues across service areas.

Community

HUIT staff are part of the wider Harvard IT Community, serving all of Harvard's Schools and administrative units. The annual IT Summit brings together University-wide IT staff for collaborative hackathons and keynotes from Harvard faculty and leadership. Communities of Practice enable specialists to gather to discuss best practices and share knowledge. And the IT Mentoring Program and the WIT+ Mentoring Program offer opportunities for coaching and support from peers.

Development

The IT Academy enables each staff person to grow their expertise and people and project management skills through a variety of technical and core IT service delivery subject areas, with opportunities to become an instructor. Staff can also access a variety of skills- based and leadership courses from Harvard's Center for Workplace Development (CWD), and tuition assistance for graduate and undergraduate courses at Harvard and other accredited schools.

Equity, diversity, inclusion, & belonging

Every member of the Harvard community belongs here, and it is our responsibility to ensure our actions and interactions reflect this ideal and foster an environment where everyone feels welcome and has the opportunity to be their best selves. In HUIT, we are deeply committed to achieving these essential goals.

Leveraging the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging, we have created a framework for inclusion and belonging within HUIT that includes these important objectives:

  • Attract, develop, and retain diverse talent

  • Connect our staff to each other and to the mission of Harvard

  • Respect the diverse perspectives of our staff while ensuring their comfort and safety

  • Embrace the principles of inclusion and belonging and ensure they are reflected in our symbols, spaces, processes, and systems
