The Opportunity

As a Business Operations Coordinator within SABEL, you will play a pivotal role in enabling smooth, efficient operations that underpin the delivery of high-quality services.

What Success Looks Like:

Deliver timely and accurate coordination of operational processes across the Faculty.
Provide proactive support and advice on Policy compliance, procurement, and reporting requirements.
Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders to ensure seamless service delivery.
Support and contribute to change initiatives as the faculty transitions to new ways of working following the consolidation.

Please refer to the Position Description for full details.

About You

Demonstrated experience in business operations or administrative coordination within a complex organisation.

University experience is strongly desired, with familiarity and experience working within a matrix structure.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a commitment to collaborative working.
