The job holder will need to meticulously monitor, analyse, and prioritize various feedback and requests coming from different stakeholders, such as students, faculty, external partners, and the broader community. This includes: Assessing Relevance and Significance: Each piece of feedback or request must be thoroughly evaluated for its relevance and significance to NTU's mission, goals, and values. This involves understanding the context, underlying concerns, potential impact, and alignment with the university's strategic direction.

Managing Negative Feedback: Handling negative feedback requires tact, empathy, and strategic thinking to address genuine concerns while maintaining NTU's reputation and relationship with the stakeholders.

Handling Requests: Determining how to respond to out-of-scope requests without alienating stakeholders is a delicate balancing act.

Developing FAQ and Response Strategies: Creating and regularly updating a comprehensive FAQ and response protocol helps in addressing recurring concerns efficiently. This must be done thoughtfully to ensure that it aligns with NTU's communication style and objectives.

Ensuring Timeliness: Timely responses are essential to maintain trust and demonstrate that NTU values the opinions and needs of its stakeholders.
