Who got that job?

Were you one of the people who applied for this job and wondered who got it?

Job title: Tamaki campus development manager.

For: University of Auckland.


Robyn Hill's new job requires her to jump all over the place - but it's that diversity, she says, that hooked her when this job advertisement appeared in the Herald.

"I'm a development junkie," she confesses. "I love anything that is in high-growth mode, something that's got a really clear vision in the knowledge economy area."

Architecture graduate Hill, 33, is doing whatever jobs are required to help the university's Glen Innes site - which houses 1500 staff and students - to become a "knowledge economy campus" with room for 6000.

It's very much a change and project management role.

Hill can be helping a company with its application to build an eco-friendly building on the university's commercial technological park one day, and the next preparing presentations for city campus staff so they know what's going on at Tamaki.

Among her other tasks are helping in the transition of some staff from the city site to new offices and environments at Tamaki and setting up a staff and student consultative group.

"And I've been looking at software in terms of our timetables, and space and resource management.

"It's a full-on job of developing the campus - not so much the architectural side, though I'm involved in that - but in terms of the academic and social and change management and community aspect of it."

Hill was formerly part of the marketing team at Workbridge, which helps disabled people into work.
