Working collaboratively with Heads of School, School Managers, Faculty leadership and central functional teams, the role identifies process gaps, compliance risks and opportunities for improvement, and supports the design and implementation of sustainable solutions. The role helps Schools and Faculty teams meet their responsibilities by establishing clear governance routines, practical guidance, consistent monitoring and effective issue resolution processes.
This position provides a Faculty-level view of process performance, risks, improvement actions and implementation progress, ensuring leaders have clear visibility of issues requiring attention.
