This is a superb opportunity for any Head of Engineering or Head of NPD who is looking for somewhere to show their capabilities.
This is a board level opportunity and a chance to swoop in and refresh a stagnant NPD department. You’ll have full accountability and control for engineering and a multi-discipline team of mechanical, electronic and software engineers. It’s a new role in the business, and they really need someone who can get their NPD department back on track and hitting their project deadlines. You’ll be joining an SME with a great brand in the market, who have an R&D budget to spend, so you’ll have great foundations to really make it work.
They have an exciting roadmap to deliver over the next 5 years, and achieving the deadlines is critical to this. You will have been in a role where you’ve overseen NPD projects and have achieved deadlines, and you’re used to timescales of less than a year. We need someone who can strategise and create the plans, not just run with an existing plan. You will be proactive and take action to reduce possible risks to projects before they happen.
It's an opportunity for you to put your stamp on this business. You'll need to be firm, and have the gravitas to lead and invigorate the team. It'll be a balance of innovation and delivery: they operate in an exciting market, supplying to scientific equipment manufacturers as well as life sciences researchers. You’ll have a small team with the budget for additional headcount and be given freedom to implement rapid prototyping techniques.
