Strong communication and relationship-building skills mean you can work effectively with colleagues, stakeholders, and external partners alike.
You'll bring a positive attitude, flexibility, and initiative, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Experience with student systems such as Raisers Edge, SONIA, SITS Vision, or Syllabus+ would be an advantage, as would familiarity with university environments.
