Macquarie University is transforming how it designs, delivers and assures the quality of its coursework suite. Sitting within the Curriculum Quality Unit in the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education) portfolio, this position places you at the point where curriculum policy, education systems, data and day-to-day faculty practice meet.
As a Business Analyst, Curriculum, you will work within the PVCE portfolio, faculties and business teams to surface needs, examine processes and data, and translate what you find into practical solutions that improve services, efficiency and decision-making. You will produce clear documentation, facilitate stakeholder engagement and help ensure solutions align with strategy, governance and risk requirements.
We believe context makes the work meaningful. As the higher education sector continues to raise the bar on teaching quality, the systems that underpin the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of teaching need to be well-governed, fit for purpose and actively managed. Business analysis capability is central to navigating Macquarie's systemic landscape, progressing the transformation set out in the MQ Advantage Education Strategy, and responding to a moving technical and legislative environment.
If you enjoy untangling complexity and seeing your recommendations translated into real change for students and staff, this position offers genuine scope.
Reporting to the Curriculum Manager, you will develop and modify processes, systems and practices that can affect University-wide projects and improvement initiatives. Your responsibilities will include:
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) portfolio is responsible for Macquarie's academic mission: the planning, quality and delivery of education for our undergraduate and graduate students, academic standards, student experience, and the governance frameworks behind learning and teaching.
Within the portfolio, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education) oversees education across the student journey, from pathways and access through to curriculum development and graduate outcomes. The Curriculum Quality Unit supports this work by applying the Curriculum Lifecycle Framework to maintain the quality of the University’s coursework programs.
Joining the team means playing a direct role in improving curriculum and strengthening the systems and data the University uses to understand and demonstrate the quality of its education.
You are an experienced business analyst who reads complexity well: you can see how systems, data, processes and people fit together, and you can explain what you find in language that makes sense to everyone in the room. You are comfortable moving between detailed requirements work and bigger-picture advice, and you bring a methodical, evidence-based approach to improving how things work.
To be considered for this position, please apply online and attach your resume and a separate cover letter that outlines how you meet the selection criteria above.
Please note that work hours may vary from time to time to accommodate business needs.
Applications for this role will close on Sunday 11th October, 11.59 PM AEST.
