**Advisor, Business Development (McMaster University)**
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 McMaster University, we’d ask you to do the following:
- Work closely with members of Mitacs Business Development, Research, and Programs teams, as well as McMaster Industry Liaison Office (MILO) to deliver high‐quality programming
- Work closely with stakeholders at McMaster University 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 and student engagement support to McMaster University
- Work collaboratively with McMaster University offices involved in the administration of Mitacs programs
- Assist in negotiating agreements for approval by McMaster which will facilitate business development discussions and research collaborations
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 Masters or PhD (within one or two years), ideally from McMaster University
- 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
