"Impact Development Manager"

Research and External Engagement (REE) is a new integrated service dedicated to driving forward the University’s ambitions for research, innovation, skills and enterprise. This professional service works to support our students, drive research excellence, upskill and reskill the regions workforce, strengthen relationships and engagement with our alumni, business and community partners.

Through cutting-edge research initiatives, hands-on learning opportunities, strategic partnerships, civic leadership, and skills delivery, we will empower individuals to thrive in an ever-changing world.

The Impact and Commercialisation team within REE will drive forward the development of societal impact underpinned by our research and knowledge exchange activities, including identifying commercialisation pathways that help translate research for societal benefit.

The team will work closely with colleagues across REE and with the University’s Colleges and Schools to embed a culture of impact and build institutional capacity and capability to translate research and knowledge exchange activities into impact through clear support systems and delivery of resources, including accelerator accounts and training.

The Impact Development Manager will play a critical strategic role in supporting the translation of research outcomes into meaningful impact for wider society (beyond academia). The role will work as part of a team to design and implement training, support systems, infrastructure and frameworks that enhance institutional capacity and capability to deliver impact and commercialisation activities. We are particularly interested to hear from individuals with experience developing impact in health and/or biosciences.
