PRIMARY DETAIL

The Role 

We are seeking an experienced Program Change Lead to drive change within a student CRM (Salesforce) platform implementation Program.

The core focus of the University’s digital transformation strategy is enabling the objectives of Students First through five key focus areas, seeking to drive excellent experiences and outcomes in every dimension of students’ interactions with the University. 

The Student 360 Program will deliver a student CRM (Salesforce) platform that will realise our ambitions for end-to-end student engagement and service delivery, and allow the University to:

You will support the Program Manager to deliver a priority Program within the Macquarie University digital transformation strategy. The Change Lead will be an essential part of the strategic delivery team, influencing decisions, managing diverse stakeholders, and leading the development and execution of high-quality change and communications strategies. Your expertise as a change agent, grounded in contemporary change management frameworks, will drive effective models for strategic initiatives across the portfolio, applying both organisational and people change skills to varying impacts, helping to ensure timely delivery to support the Macquarie University digital transformation.
