Job Description
The Bioregional Centre of Excellence (CoE) is one of the seven CoEs at JECP Centre, which will focus on innovations relevant to small towns and districts, what we call Middle India. The objectives of Innovation in this context are to be connected to the downstream Incubation process, which has been in running for the last 2 years and has recently accelerated through the ACIC program.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The role of the Innovation CoE Director is primarily to set up and run the Bioregional Centre of Excellence, ensuring that it delivers its intended impact. This is broadly based on three areas of work on Thinking (Research), Doing (Implementation) and Being (Relationship / Ecosystem). The Director will have to personify all these three areas, with the team under him focusing on each of the three.
Research
The Director will ensure that the research local and national/global is carried out to bring relevant and contextual innovations to the Bioregional CoE. The Research Manager will be directly reporting to the Director. In this, he/she will have to look at both research from local sources of innovation as well as innovations that are national and global which can be adopted locally.
Implementation
The Director will ensure the implementation of the documented innovations through the Incubation process. The Operations Manager will be directly reporting to the Director. In this we anticipate a relationship with the downstream incubate companies which can implement the innovations seeded by the Bioregional CoE.
Partnership / Ecosystem
Understanding the local context and culture to assess and advance the innovation will be an important role of the Director. He/she will thus ensure that an innovation ecosystem is fostered, advancing regional development. This is a primary responsibility of the Bioregional CoE Director, where the person has to build relationships, mostly with corporates and other innovative bodies, focus on ecosystem creation involving local institutions and individuals, and manage the revenue and profitability of the CoE.
Bioregional and Cross-Domain Working:
In the context of the Bioregional Centre of Excellence, the innovations will mainly focus on building a circular economy driven by local enterprises, promoting ecological biodiversity in the region and promoting sustainable enterprise growth in harmony with the environment. Hence, the Director will require expertise, experience and passion in one or more of the following areas: Sustainability, Biodiversity and/or Circular Economy (an economy that s restorative and regenerative by design). The Bioregional CoE is one of seven such CoEs envisaged, a key remit of the Director will be the ability to look outside his CoE to link with other CoEs in the JECP. In some sense, the Bioregional CoE will act as a horizontal enabler for all other CoEs.
Reporting Relationship:
He or she will directly report to the Innovation Director, who will be the person responsible for the Innovation block and processes. In addition, the person will work closely with the Chief Operations Officer of Jagriti for overall financial and technical support.
