We are a dynamic university located in the heart of the city’s creative precinct. UTS has built a strong reputation for innovation and excellence, with social justice at our core. Our 2027 Strategic Plan outlines our vision to be a leading public university of technology and provides a strong statement about UTS’s aspirations for our fourth decade.

As the Executive Assistant (Projects) to the Vice-Chancellor, you will work to support a creative and energetic Vice-Chancellor and become an integral part of the cohesive and collaborative Chancellery.

With a focus on supporting Vice-Chancellor committees and report writing, the Executive Assistant (Projects) will work to provide timely and accurate responses to the varied priorities of the VC and his office.

Along with this, the ideal candidate will be:

  • An effective communicator – you will have highly developed written and verbal communication skills with the ability to develop effective networks to influence outcomes and be comfortable building relationships with stakeholders across all levels. As someone who enjoys report writing, you will be comfortable and experienced in preparing documents for review by senior staff.
  • Proactive and pragmatic –  with extensive prior experience in the provision of support to a senior executive, you will be comfortable managing competing priorities and able to exercise discretion and confidentiality.
  • Organised and detail oriented – utilising your prior experience providing governance support to boards and/or committees, you will be a detail oriented individual, committed to accuracy and precision.
  • Collaborative and innovative – working in conjunction with a second Executive Assistant, you will be comfortable working within a team environment where collaboration and a focus on process improvement is paramount to success.
  • Empathetic and positive – you will have the capacity to manage interpersonal relationships tactfully and empathetically and contribute to a positive, service-oriented work environment.
