stakeholders and customers and the external environment in which we operate. Team members collaborate, reflect, develop their skills and have a risk-appropriate mindset of continuous improvement to our processes, policy and approach.

Demonstrating the impact of our excellent academic research in the real world to a range of audiences is a key priority. This role is a great opportunity to work with researchers to develop knowledge exchange activities, to develop and maintain non-academic partnerships and to build high-quality case studies of the resulting impact. We are at a critical point in our preparations for the next Research Excellence Framework, and your expertise will make a significant contribution in supporting, guiding and enabling the highest possible quality submission.

The Partnerships and Knowledge Exchange teams will focus on a range of priority areas depending on the discipline area. In Engineering and Physical Sciences, a primary focus will be building partnerships in areas of research strength which will enable the University to secure income either directly or indirectly. In Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, a primary focus will be on building partnerships to enable and underpin impact at national and/or international scale. In Health and Life Sciences, a primary focus will on securing opportunities for translational research income leading to impact. All will lead on significant Knowledge Exchange bids.

The primary focus of this role is to:

• Work with senior faculty leadership teams to transform the University's research strengths into practical solutions and impacts which drive economic growth.
• Lead on the delivery of a culture of KE, Innovation and Impact and supporting academics on their journey.
• Lead, manage and develop a team of KE Managers.
• Typical deliverables will include:
  • Account management and growth of existing relationships.
  • Business development and prospecting of new relationships of strategic importance to the Faculties and the University.
  • Manage internal KE Funding calls and specific impact funds, and support the selection of high-quality applications.
  • Lead strategic KE bid development
