About the role
The Crick’s Business Office has been created to establish an expanded translational and commercial offering from the Crick. There are four core functions: Translation & Entrepreneurship, Commercial Portfolio, Business Development and Business Operations.
The Business Development team is responsible for driving the development and execution of the Crick’s translation and commercial activity. This involves identifying partners for different translational and commercial opportunities, negotiating and concluding optimal deals and post-signature management to ensure delivery of such agreements.
The Senior Business Manager is a new role within the team. You will report into the Head of Business Development, working closely with them and the Business Development team to ensure appropriate identification, negotiation, conclusion and post-signature management of deals that further the Crick strategy, while protecting the charitable objectives.
We are seeking a candidate with demonstrated expertise in innovation, commercialization, intellectual property (IP), and due diligence, along with strong negotiation skills.
The ideal candidate will possess a background in bioscience or a related discipline and/or equivalent experience. Success in this role will require strong collaboration skills, as you will work closely with internal teams across the organization and engage with external stakeholders and third-party partners.
What you will be doing
As a Senior Business Manager at the Crick, you will:
Negotiate and secure deals, including undertaking the development and execution of the Crick’s translation and commercial activity
Deliver market, competitor and financial analyses to support commercialisation of the translational pipeline and development of the overall commercial portfolio
Provide commercial and translational portfolio analysis (including resourcing and forecasting) across all Business Office team functions
Produce insight and analysis outputs, including reports, briefings, presentations, recommendations and analytics/data visualisation, with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail in partnership with the Business Development team and Crick scientists develop effective, data-driven business cases and ‘pitch-decks’ to support commercialisation opportunities
About you
You will bring
Undergraduate degree in bioscience or related discipline, or equivalent experience
Highly organised with comprehensive experience of working in a demanding environment, either academia or industry. Demonstrating the ability to command the confidence of all those reliant on the effective delivery
Extensive experience of technology/opportunity assessment, marketing and licensing, as well as legal and technical aspects of contract, collaboration, licensing and corporate agreements. This needs to be evidenced through a deal sheet.
An extensive network in the investment, pharmaceutical and biotech industry, gained through experience of working in or with such sector.
At the Francis Crick Institute, we believe that diversity and inclusion are essential to driving innovation and scientific discovery. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed, regardless of their background, identity, or personal circumstances. We actively encourage applications from individuals of all genders, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences. We are a Disability Confident: Committed employer and want to ensure that everyone can apply and be part of our recruitment processes and so we'll make reasonable adjustments if you need them - just let us know when you apply.
