Cambridge, United Kingdom Babraham Research Campus Full time

Babraham Research Campus is one of the UK’s leading places to support early-stage bioscience enterprise and is distinct in its co-location of bioscience companies with the Babraham Institute. World-class research and business come together to promote innovation and strengthen links between academia and the commercial world. The campus - managed by the Babraham Research Campus Ltd, (BRCL) - is situated within Europe’s leading life science cluster, Cambridge UK (which sits at the heart of the Golden Triangle), and is a world-leading early-stage discovery bioscience and innovation eco-system.

BRCL has ambitious plans for significant growth, seeking to more than double the scale of the laboratory and office space on the campus, together with the continued development of its services and capabilities, super-charging its impact in driving economic growth and strengthening the UK’s position in the global life sciences arena.

The campus is currently circa 400,000 square foot of laboratory, office and communal space and home to a critical mass of life science businesses (circa. 60 companies on campus) co-located with the Babraham Institute, (BI), a world-leading research institute. The campus draws on an extensive network of investors, advisors and alumni encouraging and supporting the whole community, delivering at all stages of innovation. Given its location, there are deep relationships which are actively promoted between academia, industry and early-stage businesses.

BRCL seeks an ambitious and inspirational CEO who can drive both the growth of a real estate property opportunity and a highly developed research and innovation ecosystem. The appointee will be a placemaking expert; capable of delivering an enterprising place that delivers excellence across discovery bioscience, innovation, property development and management. This will require raising external financing and building strategic partnerships.

We are looking for a leader who meets the following criteria:

1. Visionary and inspirational leadership with the ability to drive innovation and promote a culture of excellence.
2. Proven experience in a senior leadership position.
3. Strong business acumen with the ability to balance strategic priorities with operational requirements.
4. Understanding of the UK’s life sciences ecosystem, including R&D, biotech commercialization, and government policy related to scientific innovation.
5. Experience of working with or in research parks or campuses.
6. Demonstrated ability to manage complex organizations with an end user focus, including strategic planning, financial oversight, and operational management, recognizing the importance of service delivery over lease management.
7. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of building relationships with diverse stakeholders.
8. Understanding of the unique nature of BRCL’s offering, co-located with the BI, delivering impact and value through property.
9. Acknowledging the features of the shareholder base being a research charity (BI) and a public body (BBSRC-UKRI), including an appreciation of each organization’s priorities and constraints.
10. Having an understanding of public sector requirements (e.g. use of public money, subsidy control). Working at the private-public sector interface.

Location

The role will be based at BRCL’s head office on the campus in Cambridge, but the appointee will be expected to travel (UK) as required of the role.
