Descripción del empleo

Join us in driving innovations and be part of our growth in Spain to help groundbreaking startups and researchers secure funding and bring their ideas to life. Engage with CEOs, university leaders, and pioneering entrepreneurs working in cutting-edge fields.

As a Managing Consultant in Spain, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of cutting-edge innovations. Your expertise in crafting winning proposals, securing funding, and leading teams will help our clients bring their visionary projects to life.

At Catalyze, we strive to accelerate innovations that have a positive impact on the world.

The development of disruptive innovations is a complex process, taking many years and requiring substantial funds. While many relevant innovative ideas and technologies are emerging rapidly, it is often challenging for academics and early-stage companies to translate lab results into market-ready solutions. Key questions include: “How to position the innovation in the market?”, “How to obtain funding for the next development step?”, and “With whom can I collaborate to advance my innovation?”

Who we are

Catalyze is a leading consultancy supporting success in Life Sciences & Health, Green & Sustainable Innovations, and Industrial & Digital Tech. With over 20 years of experience, we guide clients through their innovation journey to bring groundbreaking ideas to life.
