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.
