About the Portfolio

The Operations Portfolio enables an integrated, enterprise wide delivery for best practice student and staff experiences.


The Portfolio incorporates the following business units: Enterprise Projects and Business Performance (EPBP), University Communications (UC), Global Marketing & Student Recruitment (GMSR), Human Resources (HR), Information and Technology Services (ITS), Office of the Chief Operating Officer, Property Services Group (PSG) and Procurement.


The Portfolio houses significant drivers and delivery components across the staff and student journeys and enables the overall experience for both groups.

The Portfolio is integral in bringing the RMIT strategy to life, across the globe.

Each of these functions supports the global operations of the University both directly as well as through its controlled entities.

Procurement is a small but focused group reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and Vice-President Resources.

The role of Procurement is to review sourcing and procurement options across the university based on an expenditure on goods and services of ~$500M.


Key issues addressed are:

  • Identifying cost improvement initiatives across the university spend
  • Rationalising supplier base
  • Negotiating and establishing major RMIT group contracts based on combined purchasing power
  • Enabling the procurement process and policies through both systems and controls
  • Using and leveraging group contracts to provide savings
