Business Development and Operations Manager - #2157328

Apply here: https://www.gihealthcare.co.uk/apply

The role

A broad commercial and operations role for someone who likes talking to people and getting things done. You will work directly with the CEO, take over relationships we have already built, and keep the business side running while the engineering team focuses on the product.

What you will do

• Build and hold relationships with business support bodies, enterprise agencies and innovation networks, and spot the funding and business opportunities coming through them
• Write and submit grant and funding applications with input from the technical team
• Manage our existing stakeholder relationships, keeping partners, funders and supporters updated and engaged
• Reach out to new customers, build the relationship from first contact, set up commercial pilots and keep those relationships going afterwards
• Handle procurement of components and materials, from sourcing and quotes through to delivery
• Keep day to day operations, records and project coordination on track

What we are looking for

You are a natural relationship builder. That matters more to us than anything on paper. You are comfortable making the call, walking into a room of strangers, and following up until something happens.

You also need a background in physics or engineering, either a degree or equivalent hands-on experience. You will be talking about our technology every day, to customers, funders and partners, so you need to understand what you are selling.

Beyond that: clear writing and speaking, well organised across several threads at once, and happy in a small team where the job changes as you go.

You must:

• Be willing to go through security clearance if required
• Have a physics or engineering background, degree or equivalent hands-on experience

Salary: Up to £42,000, made up of a base (£30k+) salary plus milestone-linked bonuses
