Our academyEX team are a highly diverse group of educators, subject-matter experts, technologists, data analysts, administrators, communicators and leaders who all believe that education should be relevant, accessible and impactful. We are committed to driving positive change across the higher education system. If this sounds like you, please feel free to reach out.

It is important for everyone, regardless of their chosen industry, to be responsible for their actions and response to climate change. At academyEX we believe that by everyone taking active steps to reduce their impact on the environment, we can not only help mitigate the effects of climate change, but also set a positive example for others to follow.

At academyEX our collective purpose is to create impactful futures. We recognise to do this every candidate we hire must have their own motivation for creating positive impact. We look for people who support others to thrive and those who seek to make a positive contribution in the lives of others. Through building a collective of change makers we believe that purpose and work can be highly aligned.

With us, expect to get skills, knowledge and connections that you can use now, and to help guide your decisions for the future.
