Wollongong, Australia University of Wollongong Full time

Permanent/Continuing, full-time appointment
- Level 8/9: $107,882 - $133,850 + 17% Superannuation

Being the third largest city in New South Wales and only an hour from Sydney, Wollongong is a vibrant city that offers the ultimate Australian lifestyle - a seaside escape against the backdrop of the picturesque Illawarra Escarpment.

The University of Wollongong is a leading diverse and inclusive civic university, working to solve global challenges and promoting harmony and social cohesion. Our success is the creation of our people and valued partnerships, locally, regionally and internationally.

The Research and Sustainable Futures portfolio is managed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Sustainable Futures (DVC-RFS) Professor David Currow. The teams within the portfolio all emphasise partnership and collaboration to deliver real-world impact, demonstrating our commitment to innovation by giving great ideas a genuine business incubator pathway.

We are seeking a high-level Executive Officer to provide strategic and professional advice and support to the DVC-RFS and oversee a range of university functions in support of the broader RSF portfolio.

This position will require a deep knowledge of the strategies, activities and institutional responsibilities led by the DVC-RSF to effectively develop strategic initiatives and successfully implement resulting outcomes.

The Executive Officer will manage multiple, complex, and/or urgent demands which may impact the portfolio, requiring the ability to use experience-based judgment to manage these accordingly. The Officer will take responsibility for ad-hoc issues and other complex issues autonomously, or work in consultation to provide advice and solutions.

This role demands the highest degree of confidentiality and discretion.

To be successful in this role you will hold a relevant degree with extensive senior experience working within a higher education environment, or equivalent combination of relevant experience and/or education and training. Extensive experience developing and maintaining stakeholder relationships at all levels and interacting with tact and diplomacy to deliver strategic organisational outcomes and influence others to bring about change in a complex, collegial environment. In addition, highly developed skills and experience project managing the design, development and implementation of strategic initiatives and programs within a large, complex organisation will be highly regarded.

**Closing Date**:Wednesday 1 May 2024, 11:59 PM

The University of Wollongong is committed to workplace equity, diversity and inclusion. We value and acknowledge the importance of our people’s diverse experiences, talents and cultures that they bring to work with them each day. Embracing diversity and creating inclusion is a key component of attracting and retaining talent in our workforce. The creation of a diverse and inclusive workforce is central to our ability to unlock potential, enhance our success and achieving our vision of being in the Top 1% of universities globally.
