AIBI Higher Education is seeking an accomplished senior professional to join its Corporate Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director, bringing specialist expertise in Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and digital transformation.

This is an opportunity to contribute at Board level to the strategic direction, governance and long-term sustainability of a higher education institution operating in an increasingly complex digital and regulatory environment.

About the Role

The Director will strengthen the Corporate Board’s capability to oversee emerging technology opportunities and risks, providing informed insight across technology strategy, cyber security, data governance, artificial intelligence and digital innovation.

Working alongside fellow Board members and senior management, the Director will contribute to strategic direction, risk management, regulatory compliance and organisational sustainability while providing constructive challenge and independent oversight.

This is a non-executive governance appointment and is not an operational technology role.

- Providing independent judgement and constructive challenge on strategic and governance matters.

- Advising the Board on emerging developments and risks across IT, artificial intelligence, cyber security and digital transformation.

- Providing oversight of technology strategy,



digital capability and major technology initiatives.

- Strengthening Board oversight of cyber security, cyber resilience and information security risks.

- Contributing to the development and oversight of responsible AI governance and adoption.

- Providing insight into data governance, privacy, information management and technology-related regulatory risks.

- Contributing to enterprise risk management and organisational resilience.

- Supporting effective governance, regulatory compliance and the long-term sustainability of the institution.

- Exercising the duties and responsibilities expected of an Independent Non-Executive Director.

About You

We are seeking a senior professional who can bring both specialist expertise and sound commercial and governance judgement to the Corporate Board.

You will ideally demonstrate:

- Significant senior executive, Board or advisory experience in Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, digital transformation or a closely related field.

- Solid understanding of contemporary technology and cyber security risks at an organisational and Board level.

- An understanding of governance,



risk management and director responsibilities.

- High standards of integrity, professionalism and independence.

Previous Board or Non-Executive Director experience is desirable but not essential where the candidate can demonstrate substantial senior executive or equivalent governance experience.

Experience within higher education or another regulated sector would be advantageous.

Commitment

The Corporate Board holds four scheduled Board meetings annually.

Board members are expected to review Board papers in advance, remain appropriately informed about the institution and contribute to Board matters where required between scheduled meetings.

Meetings may be attended in person in Sydney and/or remotely, as required.

Remuneration

$7,000–$10,000 per annum, commensurate with experience and Board responsibilities.
