As a Tech Transfer Manager, you'll be responsible for defining the strategy and roadmap of technologies, mostly coming from R&D projects, to the market. In the science industry, the job position for bringing research to market is known as Tech Transfer, although in the private sector, this job is similar to a Marketing Manager or Presales Manager.

You'll be in charge of taking a customer-first approach to technology development, interviewing and understanding technical challenges, market requirements, and opportunities, testing concepts, and contributing to the technology roadmap by creating consensus internally and with key external partners (industry not academy).
