0.8 FTE (or Full-time negotiable)
Are you passionate about developing new business opportunities – especially in the health sector?
We’re seeking a Business Commercialisation Manager to join a values-driven not-for-profit in Mount Barker, committed to strengthening primary care and its communities through implementing new health businesses. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where you’ll be solely responsible for business development and commercialisation activities – from shaping strategy and building the business case, through to stakeholder engagement, coordination, and follow-through.
You’ll help our Service Units take early-stage ideas and translate them into viable, scalable ventures in the primary care and health innovation space, bringing both commercial discipline and a collaborative, people-first approach.
The Business Commercialisation Manager will:
- Develop and lead high-level commercialisation strategies for new and emerging health ventures
- Identify, assess and progress opportunities – turning ideas into business cases, models, and practical plans
- Build strong internal relationships with managers and subject matter experts to gather insights, align priorities, and move initiatives forward
- Drive day-to-day execution, including:
- scheduling and coordinating meetings
- preparing agendas and briefing notes
- taking clear meeting minutes and documenting actions/decisions
- maintaining stakeholder registers, follow-ups, and next steps
- Develop and maintain relationships with key external stakeholders (partners, funders, innovators, health organisations) and bring them along for the journey
- Support partnership development and negotiations that enable sustainable growth and real community impact
About You
Our ideal candidate will possess:
- Proven experience in business commercialisation, venture growth, business development, or strategy implementation. Alternatively, you will be an emerging professional in this space looking to build their existing skillset and capacity
- Confidence moving between strategic planning and practical coordination
- Strong understanding of (or genuine interest in) the primary care and health innovation ecosystem – especially Medicare billing
- Well-established networks across South Australia (or the ability to build them quickly)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to capture outcomes clearly and keep momentum
- A purpose-led mindset and motivation to create measurable community impact
- Experience building partnerships that turn ideas into scalable realities
What We Offer
- Real impact across communities and health-focused ventures
- Based in the rapidly growing Mount Barker region, SA
- A passionate, collaborative team culture
- 8 FTE employment (or full-time negotiable)
- Negotiable salary package based on experience and including NFP salary packaging
- The opportunity to help shape South Australia’s health innovation landscape
