Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

We are seeking to recruit a Commercialisation Officer to join our growing Innovation, IP and Commercialisation team. The post will work under the supervision and guidance of the Innovation and IP Manager. The role will provide support to ensure the successful commercialisation of University IP assets arising from research activities within the life sciences.

The Commercialisation Officer will support the identification, development, and commercialisation of life sciences research assets and translational projects emerging from the research base. You will work closely with academic teams, professional services, and external partners to develop and implement effective commercialisation strategies, facilitate partnerships, and maximise the impact and value of life sciences innovations emanating from the university.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
