- coordinating key international events, conferences, and forums that provide strategic marketing channels off-shore for the University
- providing oversight, governance and reporting as well as strategic financial management and oversight for the Global Engagement portfolio.
The Vice-Principal (Global Engagement) requires an acute understanding of international issues and opportunities available to the higher education sector, sound judgement, globally-focused strategic thinking and a capacity to adapt flexibly to changing circumstances and environments.
