About the Role

This role focuses on accelerating early-stage research into fundable companies, particularly in therapeutics and health tech solutions, as an Activation Partner for ARIA in the UK.
Responsibilities
- Build relationships with key academic and commercial stakeholders and institutions in the UK to establish and develop BII’s venture creation support as ARIA’s Activation Partner within Human Health.
- Drive day-to-day business activities and operations together with local colleagues in London, in close collaboration with the Human Health team in Denmark.
- Engage with ARIA Program Directors, academics, and founders to identify early-stage innovation and opportunities for the acceleration programs across BII’s broad remit, covering a range of modalities and indications in therapeutics and/or health tech.
- Support selected startups and projects in BII’s acceleration programs – from application and evaluation to progress monitoring, milestone delivery, connecting to relevant networks and the transition to independent spinouts.
- Map the landscape to identify gaps and emerging trends within Human Health relevant to the startups and projects in the programs.
- Help establish and maintain partnerships with relevant stakeholders across the UK innovation ecosystem, including corporates, investors and public funding bodies.
- Represent BII at relevant conferences, events and networks.
- Provide support across BII, help optimize processes and approaches, and offer professional sparring and coaching to colleagues.
Requirements
- An MSc, PhD, or MD relevant to therapeutics and/or health tech; an MBA or equivalent business experience is a plus.
- 10+ years of relevant experience, including a demonstrated track record of supporting and/or driving the commercialization of life science innovations (therapeutics and/or health tech), e.g., at a VC/investor, start-up, accelerator or TTO.
- Experience maturing translational, early-stage, research-backed therapeutics and/or health tech projects towards spin-out and investment, e.g. from universities, incubators, accelerators or investors.
- The ability to evaluate and develop therapeutic and/or health tech innovations from scientific, technical, and commercial perspectives, and to distinguish research projects from venture-backable projects.
- A demonstrated ability to build networks and maintain relationships within the UK research and innovation ecosystem, as well as the wider EU area.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills in English.
- Comfortable driving projects independently as well as working collaboratively in a team.
