AUT has a deep and genuine collective commitment to Pacific peoples.

Our programmes and initiatives span the student and staff experience; academic research development, impact and engagement; advocacy, and community-based collaborations and partnerships. AUT has the largest cohort of Pacific university students in New Zealand, and they are supported from entry through to research degrees. We maintain and facilitate initiatives of importance to Pacific communities in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands through education, research, professional training, academic opportunities and partnerships.
Some key examples of OPA's work include our UniPrep programme ; which partners with high schools, predominantly in South Auckland, to empower and support student transitions to university (more than 75% of Uniprep participants are Pacific peoples). OPA also empowers Pacific students to take an active role in their success through extracurricular programmes such as the Oceanian Leadership Network (OLN), comprising 150 current students from different faculties, schools and campuses across AUT.

This is a fast moving, forward looking and evolving role where you'll co-design, develop, implement and manage strategic projects which make significant impact and contribution to Pacific peoples, all supported by your pedagogical experience and knowledge and personal commitment to social justice and positive change. You'll advise and engage academic, professional and external stakeholders as you collaborate, partner and network across our faculties and directorates. Through this work you will establish and oversee systems, processes and initiatives under the auspices of the Office of Pacific Advancement to advance Pacific equity objectives under the AUT Strategic Plan and report on, share and encourage good practice in relation to student success.
As a key member of OPA's leadership group you will work closely with, and report to, our awesome Pro-Vice Chancellor Pacific Associate Professor Jacoba Matapo . You'll have many direct engagements with students through our many different initiatives and must enjoy supporting youth and their aspirations. You will lead 8 highly committed and passionate staff who report into the role. At peak times of the year, up to around 150 casual and fixed-term staff will also report to you.
This role truly does have so much variety!

Equally as critical is an authentic, collegial and positive leadership style which values diversity, working inclusively and embodies trustworthiness, confidence and kindness.
