The Opportunity 

Are you a master of operational excellence who loves turning complex data into compelling stories? 

We are looking for a Learning Operations Lead to become the engine room of our Learning & Capability (L&C) team at WorkSafe Victoria. This is a newly created, pivotal role for a strategic operator who understands that great learning outcomes are built on a foundation of seamless systems, robust governance, and insightful data. 

As a member of our L&C leadership team, you won’t just be "keeping the lights on." You will be the operational backbone, ensuring our core learning teams are empowered to deliver high-impact learning that makes a tangible difference to our people and the Victorian community. 

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the operational maturity of Victoria’s Health & Safety Regulator and Workers Compensation Insurer. You’ll be joining a team that is currently scaling its impact and embracing innovative ways of working. If you are a high-level operator looking for a role where your technical expertise in systems and data will directly enable a better, safer, and more capable workforce, we want to hear from you. 

Key Accountabilities 

• Data Storytelling: You’ll own our metrics, turning raw LMS data and operational dashboards into executive briefs that clearly articulate the value and impact of our learning programs. 

• Operational Excellence: You’ll lead our Coordinator and Administrator to ensure our learning ecosystem (LMS, third-party platforms, and digital tools) is agile, intuitive, and future-ready. 

• Strategic Stewardship: You will manage our budgets, tool licensing, and quality assurance processes with rigour, ensuring every dollar spent is aligned with our strategic imperatives. 

• Partnerships: Working closely with your peer Learning Team Leads, you will act as a strategic advisor, bridging the gap between instructional design and operational delivery. 

• Governance & Growth: You’ll maintain the integrity of our learning standards, managing risks and identifying opportunities to streamline how we deliver learning in the flow of work.

• A Collaborative Leader: You know that leadership is about empowerment. You are ready to mentor and develop a small, high-performing support team. 

• A Relationship Builder: You communicate with clarity and influence, making it easy for stakeholders to engage with L&C's vision and processes. 

Qualifications

• A tertiary qualification in Human Resources, Education, Business, Psychology or a related discipline or equivalent relevant experience is desired.
