About the role
TRIUMF is Canada’s particle accelerator centre and one of the world's leading laboratories for particle and nuclear physics, radio-life sciences, and accelerator-based science. TRIUMF is an international centre for discovery and innovation, advancing fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary research for science, medicine and business. From the hunt for the smallest particles in the universe to research that advances the next generation of batteries or develops isotopes to diagnose and treat disease, TRIUMF drives more than scientific discovery.
Owned by 21 Canadian universities, TRIUMF’s community of nearly 600 multidisciplinary researchers, engineers, technicians, tradespeople, staff and students create a unique incubator for Canadian excellence, as well as a portal to premier global collaborations. The diversity of the team, and its highly inclusive culture make for a highly fertile scientific environment.
The Canadian government has sent a strong signal of support for Canadian science with an unprecedented $399.8M in funding for TRIUMF, as announced in the 2024 federal budget. The funding, which represents the largest investment in laboratory operations to date, will enable TRIUMF’s national and international research communities to advance critical research and innovation, including the development of isotope-based cures for cancer and illuminating the form and function of our Universe using accelerator-produced isotopes. The funding supports TRIUMF operations from 2025-2030 and will significantly advance the laboratory’s world-leading science programs.
A newly created role, the Chief Business Officer reports to the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer and will operate at the forefront of accelerating TRIUMF’s commercialization strategies. Through comprehensive development of key market segments and a hand-picked team, the unit will be responsible for driving the translation of TRIUMF’s scientific discoveries into commercial and societal impact.
As the ideal candidate, you are a visionary, strategic leader and highly proactive leader with a proven record in technology transfer and innovation management. You bring expertise in building business cases, intellectual property strategy, licensing, and venture creation, with the ability to translate complex scientific research into meaningful commercial and societal impact.
