  • Developing, testing and implementing a range of service prototypes and iterate through further customer feedback • Designing and integrating a range of service options and associated delivery models within Graft that: meet the needs of SMEs, are serviceable and economically attractive for Graft.

Who we’re looking for:

  • An undergraduate or postgraduate degree in a relevant area of study is required
  • An entrepreneurial and action-oriented mindset is essential
  • An understanding of the SME landscape in the UK and experience of new business development, ideally in the context of consultancy services
  • Evidence of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects and/or change management processes would be desirable

For further information about this position please contact Fiona Fyffe Lawson at f.j.fyffelawson@dundee.ac.uk.
