The Opportunity

Join the Faculty of Information Technology in a newly created role as a proactive and experienced Senior Governance and Compliance Officer.

A key member of our Governance and Compliance team, you'll contribute to a range of complex administrative services that are instrumental in ensuring the Faculty meets its obligations in relation to course accreditation, regulatory requirements, and education-related compliance processes. This is your opportunity to shape a role that is central to our pursuit of excellence in governance and compliance, supporting both strategic planning and performance.

Working collaboratively across the Faculty and Monash, you will support curriculum management and compliance, external accreditation, strengthen governance practices, provide advice that supports our teaching and learning objectives and assist with the Faculty's strategic planning processes. You'll also provide high-quality secretariat support to key committees, including the preparation of agendas, papers, minutes and follow-up actions and offer specialist advice that advances Faculty priorities and continuous improvement.

If you have experience in governance and/or education compliance and are a motivated, detail-oriented professional who values excellence, this is your chance to make a lasting mark in a role that truly matters.
