This is an exciting opportunity to join the newly formed Research, Enterprise & Innovation (RE&I) Services, part of the University’s Research, Enterprise & Business Development Directorate. We are a dynamic team committed to supporting research excellence, knowledge mobilisation, and innovation across the University. Within RE&I Services, you will join the Capacity and Facilitation team, which plays a central role in enabling academic staff and postgraduate researchers to thrive.
As Research, Enterprise and Knowledge Mobilisation Capacity and Culture Manager, you will help deliver high-quality training, development programmes, and initiatives that support research, innovation, and enterprise across the University. You will play a key role in mobilising the University’s knowledge and expertise to benefit our students, academic community, and external partners across the public, private, and third sectors – locally, nationally, and globally.
This is a varied role where you’ll manage or contribute to projects and activities aligned with the University’s Research, Enterprise & Innovation Implementation Strategies. You will work closely with colleagues from across the institution to co-design and deliver capacity-building programmes and resources that will support us in achieving our research, enterprise and innovation outcomes as part of University’s Vision 2030.
Key responsibilities
You will take the lead on, or contribute to, a range of initiatives within the areas of Research, Enterprise, and Knowledge Mobilisation (REKM). Depending on your experience and strengths, you will support delivery in at least two of the following key areas:
You will have the opportunity to manage standalone projects or work as part of collaborative teams, depending on the nature and scale of the work.
How will you work?
We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible and this role is hybrid.
Campus attendance will vary on a day-to-day basis and across the year but must purposefully align to the needs of our students, staff, and stakeholders. It is expected that there will be a relatively even balance between time spent on and off campus; but in most cases the work location will be determined by the service required or the tasks/activities being undertaken.
