We welcome applications from passionate, skilled and committed individuals to join this exciting, collaborative project and help propel climate-positive technology-based companies to demonstration, commercialisation and growth.
About the Role
The core purpose of this role is to help identify and connect participants involved in the scale-up of climate innovations with access to technology and manufacturing expertise and facilities across the UK. Examples include, but are not limited to, expertise and facilities housed within Cranfield University, High Value Manufacturing Catapult, The Henry Royce Institute, Manufacturing Technology Centre and RPDK. With responsibility for meeting a set of KPIs linked to accelerator activities (predominantly climate innovation related), you will undertake a wide range of activities from attracting and recruiting pan-UK innovators and helping to devise attractive opportunities for participants, to managing a portfolio of individual projects and delivering on reporting requirements.
Working closely with colleagues in Cranfield-related innovation scale-up programmes, you will devise diagnostics based on innovation readiness frameworks to determine the specific needs of the accelerator users and create tailored support plans for each business. The TMNM will provide bespoke support to enable the next level of prototype development or trial set up needed by accelerator users. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, advanced hackspace, prototyping facilities, lab benches and access to specialist trial facilities.
Projects you will be involved with will include the multi-regional, cross-institutional Research England Development funded Climate Scaling Collaborative (CSC) involving 5 universities (led by Imperial College London); a programme that aims to transform innovative UK-based climate startups into world-leading scale-ups.
About You
You will be educated to degree level in a subject related to Cranfield’s core themes, or have equivalent experience, and have demonstrable experience with support for technical innovation and scale up, as well as proven ability in successful project management and in effective communication with diverse teams.
