    The Curriculum Domain aims to develop a modern, attainment-based curriculum for Adelaide University, supported by advanced digital tools to deliver a flexible, consistent, and enhanced learning experience for all students.

    As the Senior Project Officer you will manage a portfolio of disciplines and work closely with senior academic staff to successfully support the development and implementation of new programs and courses at Adelaide University. Each Senior Project Officer also manages and leads a small team of Project Officers, providing guidance and support in course development and escalating concerns to the relevant Academic Transition Panel. As a lead for course development, this role involves coordinating project deliverables, liaising with senior stakeholders, data management, coordinating resources, risks and reporting.

Working collaboratively with senior IMO staff and other Domains, you will maintain comprehensive oversight of program activities and administration, with a focus on staff change and communication initiatives. This includes developing and managing staff newsletters, organising and delivering online town halls, and overseeing communication channels, with the assistance of the Communications team.
