  • A degree and/or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and/or training in business and/or project management or a related field, with extensive knowledge and experience of Indigenous research guidelines and practices in a higher education context.
  • A record of successful project delivery, with specific experience in research management, business improvement and organisational change.
  • A proven ability to manage business operations with demonstrated capability in strategic and financial planning, preparing briefing papers and presentations and sourcing, analysing and summarising data to support the preparation of highlevel documentation.

Fostering diversity and inclusion is our key priority, supporting our communities to come together in ways that empower connection, learning, belonging and growth.
