Toronto, Canada University Health Network Full time

**Job Posting #913574**

**Position**:Principal, Commercialization Investment Programs

**Site**:MaRS - Heritage Building

**Department**:Commercialization at UHN

**Reports to**:Director

**Salary Range**: Commensurate with experience and consistent with UHN Compensation Policy

**Hours**: 37.5 hours per week

**Status**: Permanent Full Time (hybrid remote work)

**University Health Network (UHN)** is looking for an experienced professional to fill the key role of **Principal, Commercialization Investment Programs** in our **Commercialization at UHN** Department.

**Do you have a passion for seeing research discoveries become a life-saving reality? Do you have what it takes to support winning partnerships with industry to help create a healthier world?**

Join the leading medical research commercialization hospital in Canada and work with some of the best and brightest in the field

We are looking for a Principal, Commercialization Investment Programs to drive and expand UHN’s first in Canada in-house funding programs, which are critical to our strategic goal of accelerating the commercial success of our most promising innovations and clinical capabilities, in support of UHN’s commitment to Creating a Healthier World.

Ranked #1 in Canada’s Top 40 Research Hospitals*, UHN has held that position since 2011, and its four hospitals are among the top-ranked globally. As Canada’s largest academic research hospital, UHN ranks #1 in research commercialization in Canada. UHN's licensing revenues are fully re-invested into its hospitals and research institutes to fuel and sustain innovation and discovery.

By joining us, you will be involved with the most cutting-edge research and medical innovations at their inception. The business professionals working within Commercialization at UHN shepherd our world-class science and discovery toward maximum patient impact: medical products, devices and therapies that change lives globally
- such as insulin, which was discovered here. Your work will equally take such discoveries closer to changing patient lives. In fact, because of the critical value of bringing these ground-breaking discoveries to patients, commercialization is one of UHN’s top 5 organizational Strategic Priorities.

Together with the world-class UHN research community, our work delivers on our recently-launched Commercialization Lives Here strategy, elevating Canada as a world destination for life science commercialization. We compete with the biggest names in the US and at home; our lineup of start-ups includes BlueRock Therapeutics, Trillium Therapeutics, Adela Bio Inc., Treadwell Therapeutics and AvroBio amongst others, boasting more than $5 billion injected into the economy.

**What are you waiting for? Join our growing success story. Let’s create a healthier world, together.**

**Funding Commercialization at UHN**

UHN has a unique technology incubation model which provides significant in-house funding to help early-stage technologies advance to the point of commercialization readiness, helping our top-tier science convert into products and treatments with potential to impact patients world-wide.

This model is currently executed by Commercialization at UHN with support from the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation via the Princes Margaret Cancer Centre Innovation Acceleration Fund (IAF), and has allowed our oncology technologies and start-ups to gain the confidence and investments of major industry partners. Without this critical internal de-risking mechanism enabled by this commercialization fund, UHN innovations with potential patient impact risk unrealized potential.

As a critical element of our Commercialization Lives Here strategy, our IAF in-house commercialization funding program will be expanding, under your leadership, across the entire organization. This expansion will include exciting opportunities for clinical acceleration through in-house access to first-in-human studies, for both our proprietary technologies, as well as those of other organizations through a risk-sharing engagement (via UHN’s clinical acceleration program). This new Commercialization Impact Fund (CIF) will be the marquee commercialization platform for the clinical acceleration, de-risking and partnering off the most commercially-relevant technologies in the Toronto biotech ecosystem.

In your role as **Principal, Commercialization Investment Programs,** you will provide leadership and accountability in ensuring success in three main areas: the delivery, the expansion, the coordination of UHN’s commercialization funding programs:

- You will be responsible for ongoing success of funding program delivery, currently the Princess Margaret IAF, including leading the operational management and execution of regular calls for proposals within active programs. Critical related activities include program promotion, scheduling, portfolio management, activity/outcomes reporting, and collecting and monitoring related
