The Opportunity
Monash University is seeking a Specialist - HSW Business Improvement to join the HSW (Health Safety Wellbeing) team to support a university-wide transformation. Reporting directly to the Manager - HSW Systems and Enablement, you will use data, process improvement and systems thinking to enhance the effectiveness of HSW across one of Australia's largest and most complex institutions.
In this influential role, you will design executive-level dashboards, transform complex safety data into clear strategic insights and support leaders to make informed decisions that improve risk management and organisational performance. You will identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce administrative burden and improve the user experience for staff across the University.
Working closely with HSW leadership and operational leaders across the University, you will help shape future systems, digital enablement roadmaps, support technology improvement initiatives and develop evidence-based business cases that strengthen organisational capability. Additionally, you will support Monash’s ISO 45001-certified HSW Management System, provide authoritative advisory and engage broad stakeholder networks to embed forward-looking safety practices. You will also contribute to the governance, assurance and continuous improvement of Monash's ISO 45001-certified HSW Management System, helping embed sustainable, high-performing and forward-looking safety practices.
To succeed, you will hold tertiary qualifications in HSW, Data & Analytics, Business Improvement or a related discipline (or equivalent experience). You bring strong expertise in data governance, process simplification, audit management and executive reporting within large, complex organisations. Exceptional analytical, planning and stakeholder-influencing skills are essential to drive adoption, build cross-functional alignment and elevate safety culture across the university. Experience with systems like RiskWare and the tertiary sector is highly desirable.
