The COO will be a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, responsible for strategic and operational leadership across a wide range of institutional operations, including regulatory compliance, quality assurance, student services, admissions, facilities, technology, and administrative functions.

The successful candidate will be tasked with building and strengthening the necessary systems, governance frameworks, policies, and performance measures to support sustainable growth while upholding the highest standards of regulatory integrity, educational quality, operational effectiveness,
