Description du poste

If you love being close to innovation and want to help shape the next generation of Medical Device technologies, this role puts you right at the front. You'll be working with organisations developing breakthrough products, solving complex engineering and scientific challenges, and turning early ideas into solutions that genuinely improve lives.

This is consultative, relationship-led business development. You'll bring technical credibility into early conversations, quickly understanding a client's challenge and showing where your organisation can add real value. It suits someone who enjoys digging into the science, asking sharp questions and helping clients see the path forward.

You've collaborate with multidisciplinary teams working on advanced surgical technologies, wearable and implantable devices, and next-generation diagnostics. You'll help shape compelling proposals, build long-term partnerships and support clients from concept through to commercially successful outcomes. Projects range from implantable sensors that give people with diabetes greater freedom, to laser-based systems protecting eyesight, to non-invasive technologies targeting cancer cells.

You'll be out in the market building trusted relationships, meeting clients face-to-face and developing a strong network across the Medical Devices sector. Internally, you'll work closely with scientists, engineers and project leaders, deepening your technical awareness and helping connect the right expertise to the right opportunity. You'll grow a healthy pipeline, strengthen existing partnerships, negotiate commercial agreements and contribute to go-to-market strategy.

To thrive, you'll bring a strong academic background in a relevant scientific or engineering discipline, ideally at post-doc level. Experience securing funding for your own research is a real advantage - that ability to write persuasive, technically grounded proposals will translate directly into success here. You'll be curious, commercially aware and quick to grasp new concepts. You'll communicate with clarity and empathy, build trust easily and be comfortable travelling for meetings when needed.

You'll be joining a supportive, forward-thinking environment with a strong culture of collaboration and technical excellence. The benefits package includes bonuses, enhanced pension contributions, private medical cover, enhanced parental leave, relocation support where needed and a range of additional perks you'd expect from a large, well-established organisation.

At Newton Colmore, we specialise in supporting innovative organisations across Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Digital Health and DeepTech. If you'd like to discuss the role in more detail, explore similar opportunities or talk confidentially about your career plans, we're here to help.
