This role is both challenging and rewarding. You will oversee responses to support requests via the Student Business Systems and Solutions (SBSS) helpdesk, manage the delivery of data extracts, reports, dashboards, and training, and ensure all activity aligns with University policies. You’ll also contribute to system enhancements through analysis, testing, and configuration, ensuring our systems are always evolving to meet the needs of staff and students.

• Provide leadership to the Support & Analytics team by fostering a culture of high-quality, customer-focused service, ensuring users receive accurate, consistent, and timely advice, while coaching and guiding the team to perform their work effectively and efficiently.
• Manage the intake and flow of service requests using ITSM tools, ensuring resources are allocated appropriately, deadlines are reasonable, and issues are resolved promptly.
• Develop and maintain internal service level standards to monitor and improve team performance.
• Contribute to the design and continuous improvement of team processes to ensure best practice operations.
• Build and maintain strong, proactive working relationships with stakeholders across Student Services, Schools, and Faculties to ensure seamless service delivery.

We are looking for (selection criteria):

• A relevant degree with a strong focus on information systems or ICT, along with extensive experience; or an equivalent combination of relevant education, training, and experience.
• Demonstrated experience using ITSM tools to manage and prioritise system support requests within a complex enterprise environment.
• Strong team leadership and management skills, with the ability to foster a high-performing, customer-focused, and collaborative team culture.
• Excellent project and time management skills, with the capacity to manage multiple competing priorities and deliver outcomes effectively.
• High level analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues and implement effective solutions in a complex systems environment.
• Demonstrated experience interpreting and applying policies, procedures, and guidelines with accuracy and sound judgment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage professionally and sensitively across diverse cultures and organisational levels to build effective working relationships.
• Experience in a tertiary education environment (desired).
• Experience working with a complex student management system (desired).
