About The Role:

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of a strategic, technology-enabled transformation program that will enhance student support services across Victoria's TAFE network.

As Project Manager, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of the Student Success Program, overseeing the design and implementation of a Salesforce-based Student Support module aimed at improving student outcomes through proactive and coordinated support services.

This flagship project will transform how students are identified, supported and connected throughout their learning journey. Working across business, technology and operational teams, you'll help shape customer-centred services that enable earlier intervention, stronger case management and more personalised support for students, while creating a consistent approach that can be scaled across the Victorian TAFE network.

Beyond this major transformation, you'll partner with leaders, technical teams and external stakeholders to improve services, simplify experiences and drive outcomes that place students at the centre of everything we do. This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-profile initiative that will deliver lasting impact for students, educators and the broader vocational education sector.
