- Create, design, and implement online onboarding and induction programs for teaching and support staff using QLearn or another suitable e-learning platform to deliver a consistent experience across campuses.
- Develop centralised operational tools, templates, guides, and support materials that improve consistency, strengthen business continuity, and reduce duplicated effort.
- Assist in reviewing operational systems and identifying opportunities to improve standardisation and efficiency.
- Prepare reports, project updates, and recommendations for the Business Manager.
- Carry out other project tasks and related duties as required during the project term.
