- Documentation & Quality Assurance: Review licensing applications, program outlines, curriculum documentation, and supporting materials for accuracy, consistency, and regulatory alignment. Maintain organized records of submissions, approvals, conditions, and correspondence.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Academic Leadership, Curriculum, Education, Finance, and Operations to gather required information, align priorities, and implement approved program changes.
- Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline licensing workflows, improve application quality, reduce turnaround times, and establish consistent processes across campuses and jurisdictions.
