Are you passionate about transforming scientific discoveries into practical solutions with real commercial impact? This role offers the opportunity to drive innovation initiatives from early-stage concepts through development and market readiness. You will take ownership of a dedicated innovation and intellectual property (IP) pipeline, bridging scientific research, technological development, and business opportunities. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams and external partners, you will help turn promising ideas into valuable services, protected intellectual property, and sustainable commercial opportunities. This is a hands-on position combining scientific expertise, project leadership, and commercial thinking in an international environment. If you enjoy taking initiative, building partnerships, and turning complex ideas into tangible results, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Own and manage a defined segment of the Innovation and IP pipeline, overseeing initiatives from initial assessment and scoping through execution.

Identify, evaluate, and prioritize innovation opportunities in line with strategic objectives and commercial priorities.

Translate scientific research, emerging technologies, and external opportunities into compelling value propositions, business cases, and development roadmaps.

Lead technology development and applied-service projects, ensuring delivery against agreed milestones, budgets, and readiness criteria.

Transform early-stage concepts into structured action plans with clear objectives, deliverables, responsibilities, and decision-making milestones.

Coordinate cross-functional teams, including scientific, technical, product, marketing, and commercial stakeholders, to advance projects towards market readiness.

Develop and maintain relationships with universities, research institutions, technology partners, consultants, and potential licensees.

Support technology transfer, co-development initiatives, licensing agreements, and intellectual property commercialisation.

Monitor and communicate project progress, identifying risks, dependencies, resource requirements, and next steps to ensure effective execution.
