Venture Creation Lead

venture building commercialisation founder support business development deep tech £48,137-£58,379 Edinburgh (Hybrid)

About this role

Edinburgh Innovations turns University of Edinburgh research into real companies, and this role works hand in hand with academic founders to make that happen. You would shape raw opportunities, test whether there is a commercial case, and help build ventures rooted in software, AI, and deep know-how. It suits a generalist who enjoys ownership and variety and can move between research, commercial judgement, and early company building.

What makes this a Innovator role?

Innovators build things that didn't exist before. They combine technical skill with creative vision and thrive in environments where the playbook hasn't been written. If you're someone who gets energy from ambiguity, loves prototyping, and would rather invent a new approach than follow an existing one, this is your kind of role.
