• Your strong delivery background with proven success in managing costs, scope, and schedules, whilst effectively managing stakeholder expectations, will allow you to deliver significant business impact for the university
• You have excellent problem-solving capabilities to address emergent issues and keep your projects on track
• You can use project management practices and tools to facilitate producing deliverables and achieve team and stakeholder alignment
• You have significant experience managing vendor performance to support the delivery of project outcomes
• You are skilled in all project management domains with an eye for detail to deliver high quality reports and project management artefacts
• You are able to drive a strong cross functional project team culture, with a positive can-do mindset
• You have outstanding interpersonal skills, with an ability to interact professionally with stakeholders, influence and build relationships
• You enjoy contributing your knowledge and experience to building consistent ways of working across project teams
• Experience in higher education is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline and/or extensive relevant experience
• Agile and Project Management Certifications; or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and education/training.

We are committed to ensuring that Curtin has an inclusive environment, free from harassment, in which all students, staff and the community feel respected, valued and welcome.

We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, women, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and are committed to making reasonable adjustments to enable people with disability to participate fully in our recruitment, selection and appointment processes.
