Perth, Australia Acknowledge Education Full time

**Company Description**
Acknowledge Education is a leading training provider with campuses throughout Australia offering a variety of courses in a range of industries such as health, community services, social work, business, civil construction and hospitality. In our 139-year history in education, we remain true to our mission to stay a challenging, relevant and creative leader in the education industry

True to our name, we acknowledge and celebrate the unique aspirations and achievements of every student. From our roots as an English language school in Victoria, we've evolved into a national academic powerhouse, with campuses in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane educating over 6,000 students every year.

Are you passionate about building strong industry connections and helping students succeed in their careers? Acknowledge Education is seeking a Partnership and Placement Manager to lead student placement and stakeholder engagement strategies across our Early Childhood Education programs.

Reporting to the National Engagement Manager (IEM), this role is central to ensuring our students experience high-quality placements that prepare them for the workforce, while strengthening partnerships with industry, alumni, and the wider professional network.

As Partnership and Placement Manager, you will play a leading role in connecting our students with meaningful and compliant placement opportunities. You’ll work closely with lecturers and trainers to ensure that all partnerships meet ACECQA and ESOS Act requirements while also providing a supportive and enriching experience for students.

Your day-to-day will include:

- Sourcing, negotiating, and securing field placement opportunities
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with industry partners, alumni, and graduates
- Overseeing placement quality and resolving issues when they arise

Beyond this, you’ll also manage our industry contact database, maintain strong stakeholder relationships, and use host feedback to continuously improve the placement process.
**Qualifications**
We’re looking for someone who thrives on building partnerships and supporting student outcomes. You’ll bring strong interpersonal skills and a passion for connecting people with opportunities that make a difference.

To be successful, you will have:

- At least 3 years’ experience in the Early Childhood Education sector
- A background in partnership development, stakeholder engagement, or program management
- An understanding of placement processes and compliance in higher education and/or VET

A qualification in Early Childhood Education would be an advantage, but it’s not essential if you bring the right mix of experience and industry knowledge.
**Additional Information**
- Opportunities to grow within the organization
- $1,500 professional development allowance
- Incredibly committed and supportive team of student-centric professionals
- Be part of a fast-growing organization working in an agile environment

**We are an equal opportunity employer. As part of our commitment to equity, we work to ensure a fair and consistent interview process. We celebrate diversity and we are committed to an inclusive work environment.
