About Jeffrey Mariano
I build better workplaces through strategy, systems, and heart.With over 10 years of experience in people operations, HR leadership, talent acquisition, and organizational design, I bring a sharp analytical mindset and a deeply collaborative approach to every challenge I face. I’ve led large-scale classification studies, launched DEIB-centered recruitment pipelines, redesigned organizational structures, and coached executive teams through transformative change. My background keeps me grounded in data and behavior, while my years in public service have sharpened my agility, compassion, and ability to navigate complexity.More recently, I served as the HR Manager for the County of Santa Barbara’s Behavioral Wellness Department, leading workforce strategy, policy development, talent planning, and employee engagement for a team of 500+. I’m known for my ability to learn fast, move thoughtfully, and bring people together to solve complex problems, especially when building systems that put people first.My expertise includes:• Talent Acquisition & Sourcing Strategy (public & technical roles)• Workforce Planning & Organizational Development• DEIB Strategy & Cultural Competency Planning• Job Analysis, Classification, and Compensation• Change Management & Cross-Functional Collaboration• HR Compliance, Leave Admin, ADA/EEO, Labor Relations• Coaching, Selection & EngagementAbove all, I believe in building equitable, inclusive systems where people and performance can thrive together.
