Want to turn world-changing research into world-changing impact?

Cambridge Enterprise is looking for someone who can open doors, spark conversations, and help brilliant researchers see the commercial potential in their work. If you can walk into a lab, understand the science, and show academics how their discoveries could change lives - whilst building genuine relationships across one of the world's leading universities - this role is for you

Why you will love this role:

Picture this: you're the bridge between groundbreaking research and real-world impact. One day you're running an energising event that gets a room full of academics excited about commercialisation. The next, you're the friendly first contact for a researcher who's just had a lightbulb moment about their work's potential. You'll become the go-to person across departments - the one who understands both the science and the business, who can explain complex IP concepts over coffee and help shape how Cambridge's innovations reach the world.

You'll have genuine autonomy to design and deliver outreach programmes that work, using data to refine your approach. You'll collaborate with commercialisation experts, work across the entire Cambridge entrepreneurship ecosystem, and see tangible results from your efforts - more high-quality disclosures, stronger relationships, and researchers who understand how to maximise their impact. About 80% of your time will be dedicated to this outreach mission, with the remaining 20% supporting specific commercialisation cases throughout their lifecycle. It's varied, intellectually stimulating, and genuinely meaningful work.
