    Keep abreast of policy issues relating to the research funding environment in the UK, with a view to understanding the impact on NIHR contracts.

    Maintain a good and up to date working knowledge of legislation, regulations, and policy affecting research and to provide briefings and presentations to the IP Unit to disseminate this knowledge.

    Support the Senior Contracts Manager by carrying out triage of new contract requests.

    Liaise with NIHR programme teams on contractual issues and to ensure that all contracts dealt with by the IP Unit follow correct procedures for sign off.

    Work with the Senior Contracts Manager on the development and implementation of best practice and smooth processes and to develop guidance to the IP Unit and to NIHR programme teams.

    Advise members of the IP Unit and wider programme teams on issues relating to IP ownership and management in contractor agreements with NIHR and in contractor collaboration agreements.

    Awareness of government policy relating to research and innovation in the UK and overseas
    Experience of IP management and commercialisation (desirable)

    Excellent workload and time management skills with an ability to handle competing demands both proactively and reactively
