About the university
We believe in the power of education to transform lives, strengthen communities and help people become the best version of themselves. The University of Notre Dame Australia is a modern, national Catholic university that serves more than 12,000 students across its campuses in Fremantle, Broome and Sydney.
With a community of over 1,000 academic and professional staff, Notre Dame is recognised for its personalised learning environment, strong graduate outcomes and holistic educational philosophy rooted in critical thinking, ethics and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
About the Institute
The Institute for Ethics & Society (IES) is a national research institute of the University of Notre Dame Australia. We are philosophers, theologians, historians and social scientists, drawing on deep intellectual traditions to grapple with the questions that define our age: how to live well, how to live together, how to inherit the past in a changing world.
The Institute works closely with partners across industry, civil society and faith communities. It is home to two centres — the Centre for the History of Philosophy and the Centre for Technology and Human Futures — and has wider research strengths across moral philosophy, religion and culture, and Catholic studies.
About the role
The Manager, Programs and Engagement oversees the Institute’s programs, partnerships, public engagement and operations. The role carries broad responsibility and combines strategic planning with end-to-end delivery: managing the Institute’s academic and public programs, developing partnerships across civic, philanthropic and faith sectors, overseeing communications, supporting advancement, and maintaining the systems on which a growing institute depends. The role includes engagement with senior external stakeholders, including civic and religious leaders, and calls for judgement and discretion. The Co-Directors will rely on this person to take initiative, solve problems as they arise, and carry work through with minimal direction.
We expect strong candidates from a range of backgrounds: academic and professional roles in universities, and communications, engagement or operations roles in not-for-profit, church or civil society organisations.
