Consultancy Business Development Manager - Grade 7

Fixed term until November 2025

We are seeking to appoint a Consultancy Business Development Manager to join our Consultancy Team for a one year fixed-term, full-time post.

This is an exciting opportunity to play an important part in delivering the University's research and impact ambitions through encouraging academic engagement in consultancy activity and providing appropriate project support, including negotiating and putting in place consultancy legal agreements with external organisations we are working with. You will gain an understanding of the University’s consultancy policy and our internal IT system, CONSULT and the context in which these apply. You will support all aspects of setting up consultancy projects, provide policy and system advice to colleagues and will be a point of contact for external organisations, developing strong working relationships and delivering a high level of service to ensure the process is as streamlined as possible.

You should ideally have a degree (or equivalent qualification or relevant professional experience), experience of drafting and negotiating contracts and the ability to efficiently manage multiple projects in parallel. Experience of working within an academic setting or at the academic/business interface would be advantageous but is not essential.

Part time and flexible working arrangements will be considered.

We welcome applications from all genders/gender identities, Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, individuals living with a disability, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
