Pure are delighted to be supporting with the recruitment of a Business Innovation Advisor for a purpose‑built innovation centre in Stowmarket.

You will play a pivotal role in understanding what support needs businesses have, listening to their challenges, and developing support strategies with the businesses you work with. You will be aware of the regional support landscape, have an exceptional understanding of digital innovation, and be able to connect your clients with other support providers and funders in the region that will support their success.

Your immediate responsibility is to work with the Stowmarket Innovation site team to ensure the success of the building, establishing it as a hub for digital innovation that is recognised regionally and internationally, but your remit will take you beyond the centre, establishing relationships with businesses on the Gateway 14 park and wider Suffolk region. As part of a high‑performing, proactive team, you will drive continuous improvement and ensure exceptional service delivery for businesses within our network.

If you are an innovative, proactive, and commercially driven leader, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on scaling businesses.

• You want to be part of a small high‑performing team.
• You are curious, you love to learn and have a real interest in business growth.
• You are ready to think outside the box; problem‑solving is exciting for you and you relish the opportunity to develop solutions to overcome challenges.
• You are comfortable with the uncomfortable – you stand your ground in high‑pressure situations and communicate clearly.
• You see beyond the challenge in front of you.
• You make things happen – you identify opportunities and act on them.
• You aren't scared of failure but see it as a learning opportunity and have actively changed your approach to situations from previous experience.
• You are independent and autonomous. You have the confidence and skill to develop your own pipeline of projects and manage your workload effectively.
• Asking for help doesn't scare you.
• You are able to pick up new projects and develop them on your own and identify when you need additional support and actively seek it.
