It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be part of the Directorate of Research and Business Engagement which supports the ongoing development of strategy and policy for the University’s research and business engagement activities and will work in close partnership with the Research Committee and colleagues across Faculties and Professional Services.
We value transferable skills and real-world experience as much as formal qualifications.
