Are you passionate about supporting businesses to grow and thrive?
Teesside University is seeking an enthusiastic and proactive Business Support and Facilities Officer to play a key role within Victoria Road, a vibrant innovation and enterprise hub at the heart of the Tees Valley Investment Zone. The successful candidate will help create an outstanding environment for ambitious businesses, entrepreneurs and innovators while supporting the delivery of services that enable companies to access the University’s research, innovation and business growth expertise.
Acting as the first point of contact for existing and prospective tenants, you will manage the customer journey from initial enquiry through to occupancy, ensuring businesses receive an exceptional experience throughout their time within the facility. You will oversee the day-to-day operation of the building, working closely with tenants, University colleagues and service providers to maintain high-quality facilities, maximise occupancy and foster a thriving innovation community.
A key part of the role will be building strong relationships with businesses and helping them connect with the University’s wider research, innovation and enterprise support offer. By understanding business needs and opportunities, you will support companies to access expertise, facilities, funding opportunities and collaborative innovation activities designed to help them innovate, grow and create economic impact across the Tees Valley.
