Your qualifications will include postgraduate degrees in program or project management and extensive, relevant experience, or an equivalent level of expertise obtained through a combination of practical experience, specialized training, or professional accreditation.

Your extensive background empowers you to confidently plan, coordinate, and deliver intricate projects and programs. Additionally, you demonstrate strong leadership abilities and can effectively engage with senior stakeholders to drive strategic and organisational change.

You embody personal attributes that align with the University’s core values of Integrity, Respect, Rational Inquiry, Personal Excellence, and Courage. Your commitment to these values is evident in your approach to work and interactions with colleagues, stakeholders, and leaders.
