I’m recruiting for a Quantum Innovation Sector Lead with a leading UK organisation at the forefront of quantum computing and national innovation.
The Role in a Nutshell
As a Quantum Strategy Lead you’ll be the bridge between groundbreaking quantum technology and real-world industry challenges — from FTSE companies and government departments to leading academics.
You’ll help shape how quantum computing tackles complex problems across finance, pharma, energy, aerospace, and beyond, driving national readiness for the quantum era.
Why This Role Stands Out
•Impact – Influence how entire sectors prepare for the quantum revolution.
•Variety – Every week brings new sectors, challenges, and collaborations.
•Intellectual Challenge – Translate deep tech for decision-makers and innovators.
•Purpose – Contribute to a mission that advances capability in quantum technology.
•Balance – Hybrid/flexible work, 30 days’ holiday + 10.5 public days, excellent pension — rare in frontier tech.
You Might Be Perfect If You:
•Have a background in physics, computer science, maths, or a related field
•Understand quantum computing or adjacent emerging technologies
•Excel at building partnerships and stakeholder networks
•Can translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences
•Thrive in both technical and strategic environments — lab, boardroom, or conference stage
Salary: Competitive + exceptional benefits
Note: You’ll need to be eligible for UK security clearance
This is a rare opportunity that combines intellectual depth, commercial impact, and meaningful work-life balance.
