The Innovation & Enterprise Service plays a central role in this and in achieving the University’s strategic aim to increase high quality research and research and enterprise grant capture and income.
Using your skills in Relationship Sales or Business Development, you will engage external businesses and academics across the University on key innovation and enterprise themes. You will help drive employer engagement opportunities in a range of enterprise-related income generating activity, which may include; CPD/training short courses, consultancy, research contracts, research collaborations and business support funded projects. You will take a pro-active role in working with a diverse range of external stakeholders to help achieve university-wide KPIs for research and knowledge exchange.
This role involves daily communications and collaborations with academics, graduates and internal staff members.
