**Business Development Advisor — University of Waterloo**

Full-time temporary employment — One (1) year contract

This is not your ordinary sales job. Our Business Development team members are the bridge between academia and industry partners or organizations. They spot opportunities and take action on behalf of Mitacs. They are at the forefront of marketing Mitacs programs and are analogous to matchmakers, who find the common interests between companies and researchers.

If you were to join Mitacs as the Business Development Advisor with University of Waterloo, we’d ask you to do the following:

- Work closely with members of Mitacs Business Development, Research, and Programs teams to deliver high‐quality programming
- Work closely with stakeholders at University of Waterloo to fully understand the needs of the researchers and students, find industry opportunities, and identify the best programs to leverage the research opportunities uncovered
- Create and maintain a network of partners/clients in industry and academia
- Introduce companies and not-for-profit organizations to various Mitacs programs
- Introduce companies to various university researchers
- Provide support to the Business Development team as needed
- Provide business development support to all Mitacs programs as needed
- Provide business development and student engagement support to University of Waterloo
- Work collaboratively with University of Waterloo’s offices involved in the administration of Mitacs programs such as the Office of Research to:

- ensure clarity of roles of the various parties involved in Mitacs administration
- plan strategically and operationally means by which to increase participation in Mitacs programs
- promote opportunities through University channels and beyond
- assist in negotiating the necessary agreements to facilitate discussions and collaborations between University of Waterloo and industry partners
- support the Corporate Research Partnership Managers with strategic partnerships, initiatives, and event facilitation

This sounds quite exciting and challenging, right? Let’s hope so, because if it does, there’s a good chance this job is right for you. Here’s what you will have already that will help you to handle these challenges:

- Recent Master’s or PhD (within one or two years), ideally from University of Waterloo, with a preferred STEM background, ideally information and communication technology focused
- Excellent communication skills
- Excellent presentation skills
- Enthusiastic and high‐energy self‐starter spirit
- Team player spirit
- Ability to think creatively and try new things
- Desire to pursue a career outside of research and academia
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-performance culture

Hiring Range: $70,080 - $83,220

Salary Range: $70,080 - $105,120
