About the Division
The Senior Secondary Pathways Reform Taskforce (SSPRT) is delivering major reform to senior secondary students in all Victorian Government Schools. As part of this reform, the department is investing heavily in technology to support students and staff and reduce administrative burden in schools.

About the Role
The Senior Analyst for the Student Pathways Platform leads the support and development of the Platform, by

the Department. This is a new role, created to provide ongoing technical and change implementation support to
school and regional staff.
The Senior Secondary Pathways Reform Taskforce is reforming the delivery of senior secondary education in
Victoria. As part of that reform, there is a significant requirement to develop new technology to digitise and
standardise processes in schools and ensure technology is an enabler of reform. SSPRT is investing heavily in
technology programs to support schools, and requires a senior analyst capable of both technical support and
leadership and excellent people skills to provide ongoing support to end users and advocacy on behalf of end users.
The Platform was launched in February, 2025, and currently hosts two applications (1 in pilot). Two further
applications are due for pilot in 2026.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with both technical and process support capabilities, to work in a
dynamic, reform focused environment.
