The Role

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Innovation Advisers help our clients navigate through our innovation process. From initial idea to research, design development, patent protection, manufacturing setup, and eventually finding out whether they can make a business.

Innovation Advisers review the client’s project and help them understand their commercialisation options. IAs work closely with the research and design teams to create quotes for services and explain them to clients. At the end of every service, IAs review the work with the client and discuss next steps.

Our Innovation Advisers are experts in the innovation process. They have a deep knowledge of the services we provide and how they might help clients.

What we’re looking for

Innovation Advisers are a crucial part of our team. It is not a straight sales role but without IAs we wouldn’t make any money.

The ideal candidate would be able to demonstrate the following –

• Exceptional people skills
• Confident, approachable manner
• Ability to cope well under pressure
• Driven to be successful
• Interest in new products and innovation
• Some previous sales or advisory experience

• Bonus Scheme
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off
