The East Midlands Director – SPARK UK will be responsible for establishing and overseeing the development and delivery of the new East Midlands branch of the SPARK Innovation Accelerator, a key part of the wider SPARK Global network.
You will be responsible for establishing and growing the East Midlands programme, building a strong cohort of translational research projects, managing key stakeholder relationships across academia, healthcare, and industry, and ensuring delivery of the programme’s ambitious objectives for innovation and impact.
The Director will report to the SPARK UK Director and collaborate closely with the broader SPARK Europe leadership team and the global SPARK network. A key focus of the role will be ensuring the long-term sustainability of the East Midlands branch beyond the initial three-year funding period.
