We're excited at Kaplan Business School to be recruiting for an Academic Head for our Enterprise Practice & Accounting discipline which was recently expanded to also include work-integrated learning, law, governance and foundation studies.

Reporting to the discipline's Academic Director and working alongside three Academic Heads, this is generally an administrative position without direct reports but with operational duties and national involvement with the recruitment and scheduling of industry-astute faculty, the forward-thinking coordination of subjects, the incisive review and enhancement of curriculum, and the monitoring of student success metrics with interventions promptly activated.

Our ideal candidate is an early career academic whose readiness for this managerial opportunity can be demonstrated by their well-known advocacy of student centricity, especially in the context of international education.
