Innovation Consultant – up to £80,000 DOE – Hybrid/Flexible – Cambridge
Located in a rural setting, but with easy access from the A11 (with free on-site parking) or a gentle 5-10 min stroll from the mainline station, this opportunity offers not only the chance to work with some of the world’s biggest brands in a diverse range of industries to inspire transformational innovation and growth, but also a plethora of additional benefits to support you and your ongoing career and well-being.
In addition to 25 days annual leave, a profit-sharing bonus scheme, private medical and health insurance, they will also support you with a mentor programme, ongoing training and full support for exceptional career development opportunities. There’re also some other nice perks such as discounted cinema tickets and a calendar of monthly social events and monthly well being themes.
There is no fixed template or job description as such for this role, as they are looking to hire the right person and co-create your future role with them and wouldn’t expect people to tick every box.
To give you an idea, they’d be looking for previous experience of leading and operating innovation projects. This would have entailed understanding customer needs, creating new concepts, developing demos for new technologies and prototyping solutions working alongside senior corporate leaders to deliver these innovations.
Your background would also likely encompass experience within design / engineering / technical / multi-disciplinary businesses but perhaps you have now turned your hand to the consulting side. You’d need to be comfortable networking across LinkedIn, attending conferences, sales trips, running Innovation workshops, planning/writing new proposals and presentations and be an ambassador for developing strong, commercial relationships with senior stakeholders and maintaining these throughout the delivery of the project.
You’d also be able to demonstrate qualities of helping a team to develop alongside the facilities to ensure the studio and workshop have the appropriate equipment and environment to enable the growing team to continue to flourish.
Above all else, a strong and enthusiastic approach for meaningful innovation, excellent communication and personal management skills and real world, cross industry experience is key – along with a natural curiosity for better.
Salary will be in the region of £60,000 – £80,000 depending on your previous experience within similar roles..
- You will need to reside in the UK for this role and will likely need security clearance. The hybrid policy is 3 days on site each week. There may be room for some flexibility, but the team strongly believe that to be successful in this role, being on-site will enable you to become a strong, impactful and valued member of the team.
