Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Senior Manager, Industry Engagement to join Industry Engagement, International and Business Development, Chancellery Division.

The Office of Industry Engagement is seeking an accomplished senior business development professional with deep expertise in the commercialisation of biosciences, biomedical and related data driven and translational health technologies, and a strong, established network within the biomedical and health industry. This role plays a central part in building and progressing high value industry partnerships and major research initiatives. A demonstrated track record of converting trusted industry relationships into significant research funding, investment and real world impact is essential. Working closely and collaboratively with researchers and senior stakeholders across the university, the Senior Manager develops and manages strategic partnerships across private and public sectors to grow QUT’s research capability in health and biosciences. The role also supports effective knowledge transfer to industry, including facilitating the protection and licensing of biomedical and health related technologies arising from QUT’s intellectual property with a strong industry engaged focus.

We’re offering this role as a hybrid position as part of QUT’s commitment to embracing the opportunities created by a more virtual and connected world.

The Office of Industry Engagement (OIE), within the Portfolio and led by the Chief Commercialisation and Development Officer, works in close collaboration with researchers and research teams across the university to strengthen connections with industry, government and not for profit organisations. OIE plays a central role in enabling the translation of research into impact through: • identifying and attracting new industry partners to support research and research training initiatives; • protecting and commercialising the university’s intellectual property, including negotiating licensing agreements and supporting university start ups; • evolving and deepening established industry relationships to progress research collaboration and research training; and • managing, maintaining and leveraging relationships with key end users to maximise research impact..
