About the role
- The work could range from acquiring existing datasets to shaping research collaborations.
- You'll carry opportunities from initial investigation through commercial discussions, agreements, delivery and research use, exercising sound judgement around sensitive data and relationships.
- Our current work focuses particularly on biology and chemistry.
Responsibilities
- Develop data strategies with Research. Translate research goals, model limitations and evaluation gaps into evidence needs and success criteria. Compare acquisition with internal, public and commissioned alternatives.
- Find distinctive sources for research. Build trusted local and international relationships across research and industry, including organisations at the scientific frontier.
- Shape partnerships with lasting scientific value. Understand partners' ambitions and define pilots, deliverables and acceptance criteria, considering expertise, scientific contribution and continuing relationships alongside commercial terms.
- Lead commercial and operational execution. Develop proposals, assess pricing and negotiate terms. Coordinate Legal, Privacy, Security, Procurement and engineering to clarify permissions, responsibilities and delivery.
- Navigate sensitive collaborations. Understand institutional interests and confidentiality. Identify ethical, privacy, security and misuse concerns early, involving specialists to develop responsible arrangements.
- Make the work more repeatable. Use code, APIs, automation and AI tools to improve sourcing, assessment and delivery. Resolve recurring blockers with engineers and retain partner knowledge and research feedback.
- Build trust through careful listening, precise questions and thoughtful negotiation. You bring relevant local and international relationships, or a demonstrated ability to develop them, and understand what partners value beyond the transaction.
