Build and maintain strong, proactive working relationships with stakeholders across Student Services, Schools, and Faculties to ensure seamless service delivery.

We are looking for (selection criteria):

A relevant degree with a strong focus on information systems or ICT, along with extensive experience, or an equivalent combination of relevant education, training, and experience.

Demonstrated experience using ITSM tools to manage and prioritize system support requests within a complex enterprise environment.

Excellent project and time management skills, with the capacity to manage multiple competing priorities and deliver outcomes effectively.

High-level analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues and implement effective solutions in a complex systems environment.

Demonstrated experience interpreting and applying policies, procedures, and guidelines with accuracy and sound judgment.
