  • Demonstrated experience in people leadership, managing projects, operationalising research initiatives
  • Excellent organisational abilities and communication skills
  • A heartfelt commitment to Pacific research, scholarship and community engagement

This role is based at AUT City Campus; however, work at other AUT campuses may be required at times.

If you're ready to lead a high-performing, supportive team in growing Pacific research of benefit to Pacific communities within Aotearoa and beyond, we encourage you to apply.

Applicants must be eligible to work in Aotearoa New Zealand.
