SBC is known for its collaborative and supportive culture, bringing together science, business expertise and infrastructure to help companies grow and scale. The campus currently provides more than 70,000 sq ft of laboratory, office and shared space, including incubator, accelerator and grow-on accommodation, and is expanding to become one of Europe’s largest clusters for biotechnology and early stage life science companies.

The role

The Commercial Asset Manager will focus on the day-to-day management of SBC’s commercial assets, particularly tenant leases and licences, with a view to optimising occupancy and supporting tenant evolution as companies grow.
