What’s the job?

The Course Quality & Accreditation Manager leads comprehensive course review and re-accreditation processes across the university. This role is central to ensuring course quality, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement across the full course lifecycle.

You will work closely with academic leaders to enable high-quality course design and decision-making, acting as a trusted advisor and facilitator rather than the final decision-maker.

• Quality Assurance: Ensure alignment with the Higher Education Standards Framework and internal quality processes
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements across course review and accreditation workflows
• Documentation & Governance: Prepare high-quality accreditation documentation, reports, and submissions

What your day might look like:

• Managing multiple course reviews simultaneously with clear timelines and milestones
• Analysing course data and market insights to support recommendations
• Facilitating discussions with academics on course improvements
• Coordinating accreditation documentation and governance processes
• Working independently while collaborating across faculties and teams

Who you are:

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, particularly with senior academic leaders

What will set you apart:

• Direct experience working with TEQSA
• Background in learning design or academic development
• Ability to operate effectively in evolving environments with manual or developing systems
• A proactive mindset with a focus on process improvement and efficiency

This is a permanent full-time position offering hybrid flexibility to work from a campus near and from home.
