  • Strong analytical and data interpretation skills, with the ability to identify gaps, synthesise complex educational data, and inform strategic curriculum decisions and innovative teaching and learning initiatives.
  • Demonstrated experience in reviewing, designing, delivering, and evaluating training and/or staff professional development and associated resources in the higher education sector (e.g., workshops, modules, programs, subjects, courses, events)
  • Demonstrated knowledge of sector-wide and discipline-specific education trends and emerging learning and teaching challenges and strategies for curriculum design, transformation and innovation (including awareness of opportunities for new technologies e.g., generative artificial intelligence).

  • High-level organisational, time and project management skills, including the ability to work with a high degree of autonomy, flexibility, agility, and collaboration in successfully planning, leading, implementing and evaluating projects and initiatives.
