The Role

The position of Innovation Lead for the National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD) plays a vital role in supporting the Centre to deliver high quality and meaningful innovation programmes that deliver value to both industry and academia.

NICD has been established to address the data skills gap in the UK that will enable organisations to innovate through data. It delivers a flexible rolling programme of collaborative projects that focus on a specific business challenge or opportunity and transfers practical data skills into the workforce. Using these new skills, organisations can make better, data driven decisions, optimising existing operations or launching new products and services.

The role is to design, develop and deliver NICD’s innovation programmes to participants from both industry and academia. The post holder will have a focus on Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Innovation and be involved in the development and delivery of a range of high-quality training and learning activities and resources. The role requires an appreciation of both business and academic learning styles, integrated with the latest tools and methods for continued professional development (CPD) in the area of Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

We are looking for a talented individual with excellent communication skills and significant experience of training programme delivery in the areas of Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Innovation. You will work closely with a range of internal and external stakeholders to maximise the benefits of these programmes for both NICD and participants from industry.

Energy, enthusiasm, excellent communication skills, empathy and a positive ‘can-do’ attitude are essential.

This position is available as open-ended contracts and offer the opportunity for blended working.
