Birmingham, United Kingdom Aston University Full time

Aston University is a leading university of Science, Technology and Enterprise measured by the positive transformational impact we achieve for our stakeholders. By 2030 Aston will be recognised as driving transformational impact in Birmingham and the West Midlands.

To support this aim, we are launching Design Factory Birmingham (DFB) as a state-of-the-art facility designed to inspire and facilitate innovation and design. It is a unique space that brings together students, staff, industry partners, and entrepreneurs to collaborate, learn, and create new products that solve real-world problems.

DFB initially consists of two innovation labs: DFB-Design and DFB-Digital that focus on different aspects of design. Within three years DFB-Design will be self-sustaining and will host a number of placement students working on client projects in areas such as design thinking, design innovation, additive manufacture, physical prototyping, manufacturing and medical design.

The College of Engineering and Physical Science is seeking a Director of DFB-Design to provide leadership, management and business development expertise. The director will be an outstanding individual who brings extensive leadership and knowledge arising from experience working with business, industry or a profession. With an exceptional national/global reputation, the post-holder will use their significant expertise gained from a discipline within industry, business or the professions to inform and lead the lab. They will enhance the College and University’s reputation via a blend of external professional recognition and knowledge used to shape, implement, and deliver the DFB-Design Lab business plan consistent with the aims of the Design Factory Birmingham and the Aston University 2030 Strategy.
