A proven track record in delivering positive change within a complex industrial environment is a key requirement of this position. You will have the ability to be hands on at times, build trusting relationships and use your experience to influence outcomes.

 

You can demonstrate a growth mind-set and service-approach, a reflective and collegiate leadership style, natural humility and financial/commercial acumen.

 

You have managed mid-sized HR operations teams and are comfortable with healthy debate to find the best outcomes for the University. Ideally experience working with PeopleSoft or similar HRIS tools

 

Experience working within the Higher Education / Education sector will be viewed favourably, although not a pre-requisite. Alternatively, experience working within the Public Sector, or within complex for profit organisations that have gone through significant change is also of interest.
