As one of the world's top 100 young universities and New Zealand's newest, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is a university of opportunity where all students with talent and potential have the chance to succeed. We are a socially driven university with equity and excellence central to our purpose and actions, and we offer a stimulating teaching and research environment with strong connections to government, business, and industry. AUT has more than 26,000 students and over 4,000 staff based primarily at our three Auckland teaching campuses..

We are seeking a highly motivated, relational people leader with experience operationalising plans and research initiatives in an academic setting.

Through collaboration on research development and outputs/outcomes, professional development, public research events, workshops, and advocacy, Moanaroa contributes to the dynamic and crucial field of Pacific research, shaping an enduring legacy of AUT Pacific research for generations to come.

In this fixed-term 12 month position, you will play a critical role in realising the aspirations of the Moanaroa governance group and members through collaboratively shaping and leading the establishment, implementation, reporting and evaluation of Moanaroa initiatives, supported by a small team of Moanaroa Research Officers.

- Knowledge of Pacific values and ways of knowing and being
- 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.
