Full Job Description
As Research Commercialisation Manager, you will help researchers recognise the commercial potential of their ideas and support promising opportunities as they move through the translational pathway. You will combine commercial judgement with a collaborative, human-centred approach that helps colleagues navigate complex, often uncertain decisions and build their capacity to recognise and pursue innovative ideas. You will lead the growth and management of the university's research commercialisation portfolio, including the university's intellectual property portfolio. Additionally, you will:
- Identify and assess commercially promising research and innovation;
- Help develop credible commercial propositions and routes to market;
- Support the protection and effective management of intellectual property;
- Lead and support licensing, negotiation and deal-making;
- Build external relationships that create opportunities for UWE research;
- Help foster an entrepreneurial culture;
- Strengthen the University's commercialisation processes, networks and capability This is an exciting time to join the university as there is a strong ambition to grow this portfolio and increasingly more opportunities for support as the UK Government seeks to spin-out more university-based research.
You will bring commercial judgement, curiosity and the ability to build confidence and momentum around early-stage opportunities. You have an ability to understand complex ideas, assess their potential and help people make sound commercial decisions. You think broadly in terms of commercialisation, thinking creatively and making connections to translate research and innovation into societal impact. You will be someone who enjoys working collaboratively and is comfortable operating where the answers are not always immediately clear. You will be able to prioritise a demanding workload. You will be a supportive colleague who is confident to challenge constructively and able to know when to progress, reshape or stop an opportunity.
