About the role

Join Imperial College London and Shape the Future of Large-Scale, Impact-Driven Interdisciplinary Research.

Are you passionate about driving real-world change through research? Do you thrive at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and societal impact? Are you motivated by the pressing societal challenges of our time – whether at the intersection of human and artificial intelligence, health and technology, environmental sustainability and/or new frontiers of space, security and telecoms? If so, we invite you to join Imperial College London as our Relationship Manager for one of our Schools of Convergence Science.

We are building a dynamic team of partnership professionals to help turn Imperial’s bold research visions into real-world impact. As we launch our pioneering Schools of Convergence Science – a cornerstone of Imperial’s new Strategy – we are seeking an exceptional Relationships Manager to be part of this new team.

As a Relationship Manager, you will work closely with the Co-Directors of one of the four Schools to develop and deliver strategic partnership plans, proactively cultivate new relationships with external stakeholders, and help secure the support needed to translate cutting-edge research into global solutions.

Announced as a key pillar of Imperial’s new Strategy, these four Schools will enhance our interdisciplinary research capacity, global visibility, talent attraction, and funding, driving societal impact in critical areas.

Human and artificial intelligence - We envision AI that augments human intelligence and benefits everyone. Understanding how we think and learn helps us build better AI. Our goal is AI that is sustainable, trustworthy, and truly human-centered.
Health and technology - We envision health and wellbeing for all, focused on prevention over treatment. Despite progress, challenges like chronic illness and inequality remain. Solving them requires bold, cross-disciplinary collaboration
Sustainability - We envision a world where people live prosperously and meaningfully, in harmony with the planet. Our mission is to provide evidence and solutions for realistic, sustainable pathways, working closely with partners to drive change.
Space, security and telecoms – We envision the convergence of these areas for the benefit of everyone, in the short and the long term, with a mission to protect, connect, and know our worlds.

As Relationship Manager you’ll play a key role in building long-term collaborations that unlock new funding, drive innovation, and deliver societal benefit on a global scale.

If you’re passionate about research impact, strategic collaboration, and leading high-performing teams, this is your chance to make a lasting difference.
