* Develop and maintain a diverse corporate, government and intermediary database to support your outreach work; leverage your existing networks for the same objective
* Communicate the mission and vision of our clients to the corporate and SME community and be able to clearly articulate the "offer" in key areas such as labour and other operating costs, tax credits and financial incentives, R&D/university facilities, and regulatory landscape
* Ensure 100% usage of company and/or the client's CRM systems to record and report on contract progress; manage reporting outputs in a timely manner to ensure all contract deliverables are adhered to.
