We are seeking an innovative and strategic thinker with strong relationship building skills for the role of Innovation Director based at our new centre in Bolton. The Wellsprings Innovation Centre is being delivered thanks to Government support, and the finished development will help bring high quality jobs to Bolton and provide affordable, modern and flexible co-working and office space within the town centre. As the Innovation Director, you will provide pragmatic, high quality strategic business coaching and innovation support to businesses based in the centre, with the objective of enabling business growth, innovation development and commercial success.
