This role offers the opportunity to work collaboratively across academic and professional teams to support a vibrant, inclusive student experience.

Sound understanding of academic policies, program structures, and student lifecycle processes.
Strong communication, customer service and organisational skills in high-volume settings.
Ability to collaborate across teams and manage diverse stakeholder needs.
