**Job summary**:
**Context**:
Innovate UK’s product offer extends across business support, grant funding and innovation finance, including innovation loans and investor partnerships. The last of these is targeted at businesses undertaking innovation activity at the same time as raising investment capital from selected investor partners. Investor partnerships enable investors to act at an earlier stage or in technology areas which are new to them, bringing forward and expanding the use of private sector investment in the markets of the future. To date, over £40m in grants for R&D projects have been committed to around 160 businesses, who have raised over £125m in aligned investment from our investor partners and who have gone on to raise over £350m in further follow-on investment. A further £80m is available to commit through to the end of the Spending Review period (3 years).

The role holder will operate within the Innovate UK Investor Partnerships Team which is part of the Investment Directorate.

We particularly welcome female applicants as women are under-represented within Innovate UK in this type of role.

**Job Purpose**:
You will be part of a team with responsibility for driving the adoption and delivery of the investor partnerships model to meet the objectives of Innovate UK described in our Plan for Action and approved as a £80m programme by the Innovate UK Senior Leadership team. You will have responsibility for delivering existing and developing new investor partnership activities through partnerships with a pool of investors (venture capital, corporate venturing, impact investor and angel investment groups) and delivery of funding competitions to provide up to £80m grant funding and over £100m investment to SMEs over the next 3 years within the scope of the Future Economy, described in the Plan for Action. The role includes responsibility for working with relevant Innovate UK Future Economy, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Operations and Finance teams to ensure that programmes meet our objective of supporting SME growth at scale.

This position will require time spent in London and Swindon, as well as travel across the whole of the UK representing Innovate UK at events and visiting investors and businesses.

**Job description**:
**Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities**:
To lead the development and delivery of a portfolio of Innovate UK’s investor partnership activities:

- Identifying, developing and delivering strategic new opportunities for investor partnership programmes that leverage Innovate UK competition processes to enable investors to invest in innovative SMEs at an earlier stage or in technology areas which are new to them, bringing forward and expanding the use of private sector investment in the markets of the future
- Presenting and making recommendations to Investor Selection Panels for new investors to join the investor partnership ‘pool’
- Delivering the £80m 3-year budget for investor partnership programmes, recommending new commitments at Funders’ Panels for programmes within Future Economy and other budget areas
- Engaging directly with investors and with applicant businesses, developing balanced commercial relationships with senior investors in venture capital, corporate venturing and angel groups and senior leaders in SMEs
- Working with Innovate UK’s Future Economy, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Operations and Finance groups to ensure that existing and new investor partnership opportunities are developed and delivered to meet the growth at scale and future economy objectives in the Innovate UK Plan for Action within resource and budgetary constraints on Innovate UK
- Building effective working relationships within the Innovate UK family (including Innovate UK KTN, Innovate UK EDGE and Catapults) and with key investment groups (including UKBAA and BVCA) in order to drive engagement in investor partnership programmes
- Delivering an existing portfolio of investor partnership programmes for funding and connecting UK businesses through grant funding for innovation projects together with aligned investment from or led by selected investor partners (venture capital, corporate venturing, impact investor and angel investment groups)
- As part of the Investment Directorate and in line with Innovate UK policy, providing visibility and insight into Innovate UK’s investor partnership activities in both public and government forums
- Becoming a focal point within Innovate UK on investor partnerships
