To £60K plus benefits
This is an excellent opportunity for commercially strong, industry experienced, pragmatic individuals to join the team of Application Managers working on creating partnerships to exploit the exciting opportunities offered by Graphene and 2D Materials being proudly developed and explored at the University of Manchester. The isolation and development of these new materials continues to gather pace so that more is known and understood, in turn suggesting countless potential applications and opportunity. The construction of the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) will act as a focal point for subsequent investigations, trials, testing, evaluation and the prioritisation of commercial development to ensure that business opportunities are accelerated and delivered effectively with Industry. Success will require the development of significant relationships across both Industry and Academia, a thirst for innovative, but achievable solutions and a drive for significant economic or societal benefit. Reporting to the industry experienced CEO, the appointees will be responsible for the development of effective commercial partnerships with potentially key partners, the proving of new and novel materials in novel opportunities and the establishment of a growing body of application expertise, solutions and commercially-viable materials. The ideal candidates will have experience of working within Industry, experience and demonstrable understanding of successful product development, be able to work comfortably and effectively across all levels of both large and small organisations within both the public and private sector and have a clear understanding of the supply chain. These are influential and highly significant appointments, both for the GEIC and their partners and the right individuals will enjoy the opportunity to contribute to the overall long-term development of this ground-breaking work. As such, cultural fit will be of paramount importance, as will an entrepreneurial, proactive and balanced approach to initiate, develop and deliver to increasing aspirations. Candidates, ideally qualified to degree level or equivalent in an Engineering or Technically-based discipline, will have a demonstrable and successful track record in the development and management of a commercial business, along with strategic ability, strong teamwork, a high level of integrity and a desire to build relationships both internally and externally. Experienced in developing new products, novel ideas and long-term aspirations, particularly within Coatings, Inks, Membranes, Complex Electronics, Sensors and Wearables, the appointees will demonstrate drive, tenacity, maturity and confidence, exemplary project management, communication & presentation skills and the successful delivery of new business opportunities. Listening, influencing and negotiation will all be key competencies along with a positive, enthusiastic outlook which will engage others to support the overall ambitions of the GEIC and its partners.
