• Lead the technical development of new research activities and proposals, coordinating input from academic, industry and agency partners.
• Monitor and report on grant expenditure, working closely with finance teams to ensure compliance with UKRI, EPSRC, and institutional requirements.
• Support business development activities, acting as the first point of contact for external enquiries and facilitating partnerships with industry.
• Manage contracts and agreements, including NDAs and service contracts, ensuring alignment with institutional policies and timely renewals.
• Organise stakeholder meetings and events, collaborating with the NWTF Events Coordinator to foster engagement and knowledge exchange.
• Contribute to strategic planning, advising NWTF leadership and boards on research outcomes and future opportunities.
