Summary purpose - what you will be achieving

Too much good science stalls before it reaches patients, and rarely for want of ambition. It stalls for want of coordination, funding gaps at proof-of-concept stage, and a system where researchers, the NHS, industry and investors too often work in parallel. The Academy is building a new Research Translation and Enterprise function to help change that, turning discovery into companies and products that reach patients.

This role sits within the enterprise side of that work. Reporting to the Head of Enterprise, you will be involved in building the Academy’s commercial focused activity: helping the best science from the Fellowship unlock investment to scale and reach the market; developing the enterprise offer that supports it.

The Industry Partnerships Lead will help turn the Academy’s convening power into practical commercial partnerships that accelerate translation. Reporting to the Head of Enterprise, this role leads a defined area of work within the Enterprise function, developing partnerships with industry, venture, funders, health charities and other organisations that can bring capability, insight and resources to priority activity.

The role combines partnership development with practical delivery, ensuring that opportunities are well evidenc
