TTP is an employee-owned technology and product development consultancy, with a 40-year track record of helping ambitious clients solve complex technical challenges to bring innovative, commercially successful solutions to market.
We invent, design, and manufacture impactful products and technologies across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, life science, energy, and communications – and at the intersection of biology, physical science and engineering.
Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and technical collaboration, while providing you with the freedom to do your best work. With our bigger-picture thinking and consultative approach, our multidisciplinary expertise enhances patient outcomes, improves lives, and delivers measurable value for our client’s creative ideas.
We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Business Development Consultant to join our Advanced Surgical market team. You will help grow our business by building strong client relationships, uncovering new opportunities and applying your technical insight to understand complex client challenges and identify where TTP can add value.
We are particularly interested to hear from people with a strong technical background who are looking to develop in a more commercially focused direction. You may already have experience solving complex scientific or engineering problems in industry and be increasingly interested in the companies, people, markets and commercial decisions that shape which problems get solved. Alternatively, you may have developed your technical expertise through postgraduate research and discovered a particular aptitude for building relationships, securing funding, developing proposals or communicating complex ideas persuasively.
You do not need to have worked in a formal business development role before. We are looking for curiosity, initiative and a genuine desire to develop the commercial skills required to create new business, with the opportunity over time to take increasing commercial ownership and leadership.
The role will give you significant opportunities to engage externally, developing relationships with existing and prospective clients and representing TTP in the market. You will use your scientific or engineering knowledge to understand client challenges, help clients explore what might be possible and connect them with the right capabilities from across TTP, working closely with our scientists, engineers and experienced commercial leaders.
Alongside this, you will have opportunities to contribute directly to client projects and continue developing your own technical and project leadership expertise. This will allow you to keep solving interesting technical problems and stay at the forefront of your field, while maintaining the first-hand experience and credibility to engage confidently with technically sophisticated clients.
With a focus on Advanced Surgical device development, you will build on TTP’s successful legacy of delivering cutting-edge product development services, working closely with colleagues to shape opportunities and create compelling proposals for our clients.
Examples of the transformative work we do at TTP include the development of laser systems that can save people's sight and non-invasive surgical treatments to remove tumours.
