They will oversee the coordination of HVMC strategic projects and budgets aligned to the NMIS strategy and industry collaborative research, providing the vision, leadership and drive to ensure NMIS delivers transformational capabilities to Scottish Industry, working with the wider HVM Catapult network to deliver similar improvement across the UK.

This role is a fantastic opportunity for a strong portfolio leader to significantly accelerate digital manufacturing innovation and industrial application across a wide range of manufacturing sectors, many of which are currently failing to change at a pace that will allow them to remain globally competitive, or even survive.

This role will require candidates who have the right blend of leadership, technical understanding, people skills and business acumen to deliver programme commitments and achieve the impact expected from our government, academic and industrial stakeholders.
