Qualifications
Exceptional interpersonal and stakeholder management experience is essential. Successful candidates should have a strong track record of ascertaining and understanding individual business needs and challenges, not just those that can be solved by universities. Applicants should have thorough knowledge of appropriate opportunities and interventions which support academic and industry engagement and collaboration with a robust understanding of the regional landscape and funding ecosystem.
Responsibilities
Support the delivery of the Innovation Pathways (In-Path) programme – an exciting new project in West Yorkshire. In‑Path will facilitate collaboration and forge partnerships between academia and health innovation and digital technology businesses. The programme will mobilise the health‑tech eco‑system to maximise impact, foster innovation, accelerate the development of new health technologies and bridge the gap between academic research and real‑world applications in the health, care and wellbeing sector. With a business‑centred approach, the In‑Path team will help optimise opportunities through the portfolio of innovation support within the West Yorkshire Investment Zone and the established mechanisms for driving innovation utilised by universities.
