Deputy Chief Executive Ōritetanga - Learner Success / Tumuaki Tuarua - Ōritetanga
Part of Executive Leadership Team (ELT)
Lead organisation and tertiary sector change
Fixed term role until 30 June 2026
The Tertiary Education Commission's (TEC's) mission is to ensure New Zealand's future success. Our vision is a resilient, prosperous New Zealand - where every person has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to create a fulfilling life.
TEC invests over $4 billion power annum in the tertiary education system. While many New Zealanders succeed in that system there are many who do not, especially students from lower socio-economic groups, Māori, Pasifika and disabled. The TEC Board's stated aim is to achieve parity of educational outcomes across the tertiary education system. The Deputy Chief Executive Ōritetanga - Learner Success leads the TEC's work with the tertiary education sector and within TEC to build the multi-faceted change required to achieve that goal.
About the Role: He angitūtanga:
This position will require to you to lead a team to implement our well researched and tested strategies and programmes that drive the change we want to see. You will work closely with senior leaders in tertiary education organisations as you support their efforts to build learner success strategies. This role requires a sophisticated leader and communicator who can also contribute as part of the ELT to TEC's wider deliverables.
What are we looking for? He kōrero mōu:
You will have a demonstrated successful history of delivery in an operational context. You do not need a background in tertiary education, and a tertiary education qualification is desirable but not essential.
It is intended that the function will eventually be combined with another part of TEC at the point that leadership is satisfied that the work is embedded across the sector and the TEC itself. A core component of the DCE's role is to prepare the ground for that process.
The role is required to travel frequently throughout New Zealand.
