The role
The recently established Commercial Research (Pre-Contract) Team is dedicated to ensuring the University’s commercial research projects deliver valuable benefits for the University, our partners and the world at large. We support world class researchers leading cutting edge research, spanning sectors including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, space, veterinary technologies, and education.
Our small, friendly team supports industry funded research, and commercial tendering for commissioned research (not grant funding) from public and private sector customers. This new role will take the lead on commercial tendering, building on existing foundations to make it their own, and establishing themself as the University expert and point of contact.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring that our researchers wanting to submit a tender, can follow clear and simple internal and external processes, through bid submission to contract signature, providing support along the way to maximise the chance of success. A typical case might involve a bid for research needed by the European Space Agency (budget of ~£250-500K or much higher).
What will you be doing?
You’ll work closely with stakeholders (including senior academics, our Research Contracts & Compliance Team for advice on T&Cs and compliance matters, and Finance Services for costing/pricing expertise), to drive forward proposals (including a deliverable work package, price, response to customer T&Cs), meeting deadlines, and ensuring each is supported by a valid internal justification reflecting the shape of the deal.
