QAi Talent is partnering with a leading national organisation at the forefront of quantum computing and emerging technologies.

We’re looking for a Business Development & Partnerships Manager to play a key role in connecting research, government, and industry — turning technical capabilities into collaborative programmes, innovation bids, and strategic partnerships.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of the UK’s deep-tech ecosystem — helping to shape the country’s path toward a quantum-ready future.

What You'll Do:

Build and manage strategic partnerships across industry, academia, and government

Develop and maintain a pipeline of collaborative and commercial opportunities

Lead and contribute to funding bids, consortium proposals, and innovation projects

Translate complex technical propositions into clear business cases and value propositions

Represent the organisation at national and international events

Track market trends across quantum computing, advanced computing, and related sectors

What We're Looking For:

Degree (or equivalent experience) in science, engineering, or a technical field

Proven experience in business development, partnership management, or innovation strategy — ideally in deep tech, advanced computing, or R&D environments

Ability to bridge technical and commercial worlds, working effectively with researchers and executives alike

Strong communication, stakeholder management, and bid-writing skills

A genuine interest in emerging technologies and their real-world impact

Hybrid – occasional travel to UK innovation hubs and national events.

Why join?

You’ll be working in one of the UK’s most exciting and strategically important technology domains — helping connect groundbreaking science with real-world opportunity.

QAi Talent partners with organisations driving the next generation of quantum, AI, and post-quantum innovation — and this role sits right at that intersection.
