The Company
The company are a centre of excellence that is at the forefront of research into the development of cell and gene therapies to take these across the translational gap, through clinical trials to launch.  Their impact on this sector is growing as they continue to provide the pathway to bring therapies to the clinic and share their expertise with collaborators.  Their headquarters are in central London where they have built a leading multidisciplinary team that has the ability to take a therapy from concept through the development cycle to the market.  They collaborate with both academia and industry and they are able to provide the scientific, clinical and commercial expertise needed to overcome the challenges that hinder the commercialization of these fast developing, cutting edge technologies.  Their longer term aim is to make the UK a global leader in the development and commercial exploitation of therapies.  They are making great strides towards this aim with therapies entering phase 2 clinical trials and building credible cases to be progressed to stage 3.  Added to this they are expanding their manufacturing and development operations to meet increased demand for their services from the academic and commercial sectors.

The Role
The purpose of the Business Development Manager is to take control of the EU based territory covering France, Germany, Italy and Sweden.  With the responsibility for not only managing existing collaborative relationships with academic institutions, technology transfer offices, and spin outs to ensure a continual flow of programmes to the company.  But also you will map out your territory to identify new opportunities, those developing new technologies to target and building relationships with the relevant technology transfer offices. These programmes cover winning joint collaborative grants such as with Horizon 2020, or fee for service or winning core funding.  Working with customers to support the grant writing and submission process, then if successful work as part of the team to complete the transaction and technology transfer into the R&D site.

Experience
