Demonstrated success managing university partnerships and complex stakeholder relationships.
Strong commercial acumen with experience in business development, contract negotiation and growth initiatives.
Proven ability to lead and influence organisational strategy while delivering measurable business outcomes.
Experience managing financial performance, budgets, operational plans and performance metrics.
Strong understanding of higher education regulatory and compliance frameworks, including HESF, ESOS and TEQSA.
