Introduction
Are you a recent or soon-to-be graduate in chemistry, physics, engineering or a related field, keen to apply your technical appreciation of physical sciences and engineering to guide investment and business decisions? Are you interested in the difference between science that changes the world and technologies that seem full of promise but are never realised? Are you fascinated by the changing way things are made and consumed and want to shape the future? Do you have a curious mindset and the drive to uncover challenges in making technologies and processes work at a cost and scale that makes sense?
If so, then this could be a great role for you!

- Collaborate with experts in engineering, science, product design & realisation and business to craft strategies that unlock commercial and societal value from deep tech
- Analyse markets, technologies and business models to help clients navigate complexity, seize opportunities and anticipate threats
- Contribute to thought leadership on how deep tech can solve global challenges, such as communication on the moon, defossilisation of industries, right-to-repair consumer devices,
What you will bring
We are looking for applicants with the following traits and skills:
- Academic background: Master’s or PhD in physical sciences, maths, data science, engineering, or other related disciplines
- Business mindset: Experience in entrepreneurship which could be through student business plan competitions, internships, business or economics modules as part of an integrated Master’s, a Master’s degree with a business/strategy focus following a science or technology degree or a start-up
- Analytical and creative thinking: Ability to turn complex technical concepts into actionable strategies
- Curiosity and adaptability: A passion for learning and applying insights across multiple sectors
- Communication skills: Confidence in engaging with technical and non-technical stakeholders and crafting compelling narratives
