When you join our University, you become part of a truly diverse and global community of staff, students and alumni all focused on ensuring that we are recognised for the excellence of our people, research, learning and innovation, and for the benefits we bring to society.

The University is a world-leading research and teaching institution with a wide range of IT systems and platforms serving more than 75,000 stakeholders worldwide.

The Associate Director of Technology is an executive role within the Directorate of IT Services, accountable for a comprehensive approach across all areas of the University and its international centres.

As a member of the IT Executive Team, we are looking for a professional who is values-led; blends authentic, emotionally intelligent leadership with technical expertise; and has a proven ability to deliver the technologies and strategy required to enable the University to achieve its ambitions.

In such a multi-layered, multi-faceted and multi-stakeholder setting, your professional judgement, insight and ability to influence strategic direction will be key to your success.
