ANZSOG’s success is built on our partnerships. Our educational programs are developed in close collaboration with our 10 government owners and 15 university and business school partners from Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand plus our affiliate partners in Asia, the US and the UK. Our partnerships ensure our students have access to the world’s leading academics and senior practitioners from the government and for purpose sector.

ANZSOG is seeking an Academic Director of Programs to lead the design, development and academic oversight of our learning portfolio at a significant time in its growth and expansion. Strategically, this role will lead the development and renewal of the Public Leadership Credentials product category including ANZSOG’s flagship Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA).

This is a rare opportunity to influence the next generation of public sector leaders through rigorous, responsive and future-ready programs. Providing academic input and oversight across our portfolio of accredited and non-accredited programs, you’ll work across disciplines and jurisdictions driving innovation in curriculum, pedagogy and delivery.

We’re looking for a strategic thinker and academic leader with expertise in public governance, public administration and/or public policy, but, most importantly, a passion for adult learning. You’ll collaborate with faculty, government partners and stakeholders to enable world-class learning that is evidence-informed, commercially sound and socially impactful.

To learn more about this unique opportunity please contact our advising consultants Alun Parry and James Tyrrell at Boyden on +61 2 9225 7400, or james.tyrrell@boyden.com

Applications close on 9 February 2026.
