Job description:

The Government Office for Tech Transfer is expanding.

We've reached our first anniversary milestone and have developed an exciting portfolio of projects and found untapped potential across a range of public sector organisations.

We're now looking for people with the right skills and aptitudes to help us translate these opportunities into impactful commercial outcomes.

If you'd like to be part of our dynamic and fun team, enthused by the chance to make a difference, read on.


The UK's public sector is a thriving source of innovation and the Government Office for Tech Transfer (GOTT) has been set up to deliver a step change in the management and exploitation of public sector knowledge assets (KAs).

KAs are intangible assets such as inventions, designs, data and information, creative outputs, know-how and expertise.

These are key elements of a comprehensive 2021 report ("Getting Smarter:
a strategy for knowledge and innovation assets in the public sector"), part of a major HMG priority: to support productivity and bring UK inventions into the economy.


Current guidance on managing and exploiting KAs is summarised in the Rose Book that the team published in late 2021 and that is available on GOV.UK.

GOTT sits within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), based in the Science, Innovation and Growth group, and has cross-government role.

GOTT is a multi-disciplinary team that includes policy, operations, and technology transfer expertise.

We value diverse experiences and skills within our team - these are necessary to deliver our ambitious agenda and they make GOTT an interesting, innovative, and exciting place to work.
