Ready to shape the student experience at scale? This is your chance to lead a high‑impact function at a university that’s investing in smarter, more consistent, student‑centred operations.

Why This Role Is Worth Your Next Career Move?

Lead with influence.

You’ll be the go‑to operational expert for senior academic leaders, owning the delivery of an excellent student journey from registration to graduation. Your expertise won’t sit in a corner, it will directly shape policy, process, student systems, and university‑wide practice.

Make real change happen (and be listened to).

You won’t just follow frameworks, you’ll lead projects that modernise regulations, improve systems, and innovate how the University supports students and staff. If you’ve ever wanted your ideas to actually be implemented, this is the place.

Build and develop a high-performing team.

You'll lead a faculty operations team where your leadership style sets the tone: supportive, collaborative, high‑quality, and forward‑thinking. Expect autonomy in how you structure, develop, and grow your people.

A role with breadth, depth, and visibility.

From assessment services to academic governance, data insights to process improvement,  you’ll have a hand in the most important touchpoints in the student lifecycle. It’s varied, intellectually rich, and crucial to the University’s success.

• A confident influencer who can drive policy, process, and system changes.
• A natural team leader who develops people as enthusiastically as they solve problems.
