Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington is seeking a BCom Development Coordinator to join Ōrauariki - Wellington School of Business and Government on a fixed-term, full-time basis until 30 November 2027.
Working at the heart of the BCom Refresh, you will help shape how BCom students learn and turn ideas for better learning and teaching into practical improvements across our core courses. If you’re interested in how students learn, enjoy bringing people and projects together, and like seeing ideas through into delivery, this is a role where you can make a tangible contribution.

- Establish and sustain external stakeholder involvement in course development and delivery, ensuring contributions align with programme and learning outcomes.
- Set and manage course development and teaching preparation timelines, ensuring agreed deliverables are completed and addressing dependencies and delays.
- Oversee recruitment, employment administration, induction, training and development, ensuring staff are appointed and prepared on time.

An interest in learning and teaching will make this an especially rewarding role, as you’ll work closely with teaching teams to help shape and strengthen the BCom student experience.
Key requirements:
- A tertiary qualification, or professional experience in a tertiary institution.
- Proven experience driving projects through to completion, managing timelines and dependencies, and resolving barriers to delivery.
