Senior Business Development Manager, Research Ventures and Licensing
The Research Ventures and Licensing (RVL) department at Partners HealthCare (PHS) is responsible for supporting innovation and intellectual property protection at PHS and ensuring the broad translation of PHS science and technology to the broader healthcare community and patient bedside. Resources and support for innovation at PHS have largely been focused on the biomedical research enterprises within PHS’ member hospitals. The PHS community and leadership also recognize the mission critical innovations that occur outside the biomedical research enterprises and within PHS Information Systems (IS). PHS IS is one of the nation’s largest and most highly regarded healthcare IS groups, with a staff of ~1,200 professionals that supports a research and clinical enterprise system that includes two academic medical centers, community hospitals, specialty hospitals, community health centers, a physician network, home health and long-term care services, and other health-related entities.
PHS IS, supported by RVL, has recently developed the PHS IS IP-Innovation Program to foster and support PHS IS innovation. The mission of this program is to promote an innovative culture throughout the broad PHS IS community (including PHS’s specific hospital IS groups); capture, evaluate, protect, and manage the resultant innovations; and facilitate the commercialization of these innovations. The Senior Business Development Manager is a newly created position that will lead and manage the PHS IS IP-Innovation Program and to provide business development support to the entire PHS IS enterprise.
