Enjoy a career that makes a difference by collaborating & learning from the best
At UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.
The Manager, Faculty Capability & Improvement is responsible for strengthening Faculty operational practices, so they support compliance obligations, improve consistency and enable effective business outcomes. The role focuses on translating compliance expectations into practical processes, controls and ways of working that can be embedded across Schools and Faculty operations.
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. It complements central audit and assurance functions by focusing on local process improvement, operational readiness, corrective action tracking and embedding better ways of working across the Faculty.
While initially focused on pay confidence and employment compliance obligations, working closely with the Quality and Compliance partners, the role will support emerging Faculty compliance priorities as required,
including the review, assurance and continuous improvement of operational practices across a broad range of compliance frameworks.

Monitor completion of corrective actions and process improvement initiatives, holding Schools accountable for agreed outcomes, evidence requirements and implementation timeframes.
Provide Faculty leadership with visibility of compliance performance, assurance findings, outstanding actions and areas requiring management intervention.
Support Schools to prepare for and respond to assurance reviews, audits and compliance assessments, coordinating activities and tracking remediation actions.
Promote consistent approaches to compliance management, record keeping, evidence collection and control operation across the Faculty.
Facilitate Faculty compliance governance forums and working groups, monitoring progress of improvement initiatives, promoting shared learning and escalating unresolved issues where required.
Collaborate with People & Culture, Finance, Risk and Assurance, and other central functions to implement compliance initiatives and ensure Faculty practices align with University requirements.
Align with and actively demonstrate the Code of Conduct and Values.
Ensure hazards and risks psychosocial and physical are identified and controlled for tasks, projects, and activities that pose a health and safety risk within your area of responsibility.
