The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the heart of the next stage of commercialisation and entrepreneurship transformation at Monash! The Impact & Engagement Manager is a new and pivotal role in the wider Enterprise Innovation portfolio to position Monash as a key contributor to innovation in Australia.

Supporting the Chief Commercialisation Officer and Director, Commercialisation Strategy, this role is a key point of liaison between connecting commercialisation and entrepreneurship activities and outcomes at Monash to the wider DVC Enterprise & Engagement portfolio, university stakeholders and the broader startup and commercialisation ecosystem.

The Impact & Engagement Manager aims to increase the visibility of commercialisation and entrepreneurship internally at Monash and externally by working on a range of initiatives that better position the work Monash does in the wider ecosystem.

A day in the life of the Impact & Engagement Manager is diverse, from working with teams such as Monash Innovation and The Generator to shape key metrics for reporting on impact, engaging with stakeholders across the University and in the external commercialisation ecosystem, and working closely with the central university Marketing, Admissions and Communications (UMAC) team to contribute to the Monash narrative around commercialisation and entrepreneurship.

Essential to this role is substantial experience in content creation, curation and operation of communications and engagement methods relating to science, technology and innovation. Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, including highly developed relationship management skills are required to be successful in this role in order to interact with, and gain buy-in from a variety of stakeholders.

If this sounds like a position that suits your current career focus we look forward to hearing from you.

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

While we don’t require you to address the Key Selection Criteria in your application, we do ask that you address the four questions below in your cover letter to help us learn more about you:

  • This is a new role to help shape the way we communicate impact in commercialisation and entrepreneurship across many different audiences. Can you address your background in communication, with a focus on content creation for different audiences?
  • We need someone who can distil data and complex scientific concepts in a way for different stakeholders to understand the stories and deeper impact in a simple way. Can you reflect on ways you have been able to effectively communicate complex information and narratives to a broad audience?
  • A key part of the role is working collaboratively with many stakeholders across Monash as well as externally. Can you provide insight around your style of building relationships and collaborating with diverse stakeholders?
  • Finally, although previous experience of working in commercialisation, startups or entrepreneurship is not essential to this role, what is important is your interest in this space. So tell us a little bit about what excites you about working in commercialisation and entrepreneurship
