We have an exciting opportunity within the SETsquared team for someone to demonstrate their marketing and community building skills to support early-stage companies with funding, investment and university collaborations to build an impact within the UK economy, increase GVA and create new jobs. About us The SETsquared Innovation Platform was launched in 2021 to provide an online community for high-tech companies in the UK innovation ecosystem, with many of those benefitting from SETsquared support. Through this platform, companies can access tailored communities, resources, information on programme events and opportunities within the wider innovation ecosystem. The role of Innovation Manager is the key driver of the Innovation Platform strategy that feeds into all of the support programmes. The core focus of the role is to use the platform as a tool to improve programme engagement, establish new initiatives and form collaborations with partners across the ecosystem to support the mission of SETsquared Partnership, whilst also taking overall ownership for managing the platform and the user experience. SETsquared is a unique enterprise partnership and a dynamic collaboration between the six-leading research-led UK universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey.
