The Role

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Location: Salisbury

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.

Full Training Provided

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. There is a lot to learn and we provide full training but we rely on our IAs to bring the drive and passion for what they do to ensure they keep improving and always stay on the top of their game.

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
  • Degrees are not a requirement but degrees or similar in sociology, psychology or business can help

What we're offering

  • Salary: ÂŁ24,000.00-ÂŁ28,000.00 per year depending on experience
  • Bonus Scheme
  • 20 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off
  • Pension scheme
  • Flexitime
  • Some work from home
  • A chance to work in a vibrant design studio and become an important part of helping us create an incredible experience for our clients
  • Opportunity for remote working days once you are familiar with the team and our processes
    You won't get bored!

More than a job
