Access to benefits including salary packaging, purchase leave, Christmas closedown gifted leave, discounted RMIT childcare services, subsidised gym membership, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
RMIT UP, owned by RMIT University, provides education solutions for students, academics, and professionals in Australia and globally. Our key programs include Informit, Foundation Studies, ELICOS English for Academic Purposes (EAP), language testing.
We are the leading Australian scholarly and education resource for researchers, educators, librarians and learners by supporting the broadest range of publishers and research centres to promote bibliodiversity. We aggregate, organise and host a vast amount of authoritative content and make it accessible through our world class platform.
As an independent business operating within RMIT, we have the benefit of our ties with the institution but operate as a standalone, which means we can be reactive or proactive as required.
Informit is home to the largest collection of Australasian scholarly journals, books and videos, connecting libraries and learners with diverse, high-quality content. As our Vendor Manager (Publishers), you will play a central role in shaping this collection.
Reporting to the Product Manager (Partners), you will lead targeted content acquisition in line with Informit’s product strategy and roadmap. You will identify and secure new publishing partners, negotiate and manage content licensing agreements, and maintain a healthy pipeline of high‑value content that meets the needs of school and university libraries.
You’ll be the primary point of contact for our publisher partners, responding to queries, supporting contracts and royalties, and working closely with colleagues in Product, Marketing and Customer Success to surface key content and drive usage across our markets. This is a hands‑on, relationship‑driven role for someone who enjoys combining commercial negotiation, stakeholder engagement and strategic thinking.
We value our people and are committed to providing a supportive, inclusive, and rewarding work environment. As part of our team, you’ll enjoy:
Pre-employment Checks: Appointment is subject to a successful Working with Children Check and National Police Check.
