Location: Oxford
Reporting To: Commercial Director
Description
Want to be part of a team delivering game-changing products?
We are looking for an experienced Commercial Manager who will play a key role in developing and executing the strategic commercialisation plan to penetrate the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) market with Adaptix 3D NDT solutions.

Taking a strategic approach, you will evaluate and prioritise key market opportunities, both geographically and by industry, ensuring that the company’s products gain widespread acceptance and growth within chosen markets.
The Company
Adaptix Limited is transforming radiology through the development of innovative fast-acquisition, low-flux, deployable Digital Tomosynthesis 3D X-ray with applications across a multitude of global markets. AdaptixNDT is taking this technology into the future of non-destructive evaluation (NDT) for Aerospace composites, Metal Additive Manufacturing and the Electronics supply chain. Computed Tomography 3D X-ray is too prohibitive because of high-cost (and running/maintenance cost), -weight, -power, and slow-speed, so AdaptixNDT is offering 3D internal visualisation at the point of diagnostics earlier in manufacture and through-life with a consistent digital output facilitating Digital Twins and NDE4.0.
