You will play a fundamental role in the success of CORNERSTONE by developing new business and ensuring that opportunities to support the development of UK science are not missed.

The primary goal of this Business Development Manager post is to generate impact for both CORNERSTONE and the research we support. You will achieve this by growing existing collaborations, generating new business, hosting match-making events to bring like-minded researchers together, and leading an improved client experience.
