From Northeastern University's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The Center for Research Innovation (CRI) at Northeastern University is seeking a dynamic and entrepreneurial Director of Technology Ventures to lead the development and acceleration of Northeastern's spinout portfolio. This role carries two closely linked mandates. First, the Director will directly oversee a portfolio of life sciences and physical sciences spinouts, working hands-on with founding teams to sharpen product-market fit, define go-to-market strategy, and move ventures from formation through launch.
Second, the Director will design and run scalable programming, internal and external, that extends CRI's support across the full portfolio of roughly 50 spinouts at varying stages, including entrepreneurial training and education, pitch training, grant writing support, and structured connections to venture capital and other investors.
The Director will act as a hands-on venture builder and a program architect, balancing individualized company support with repeatable infrastructure that allows CRI's impact to scale beyond what one-on-one engagement alone could achieve. This position reports to the Executive Director of CRI and works in close coordination with the Commercialization, Marketing, and Contracts teams to ensure a holistic, cross-functional approach to spinout success.
The ideal candidate combines venture-building instincts (evaluating markets, stress-testing business models, and coaching founding teams) with the discipline to build programs, curricula, and investor networks that serve many companies at once. A deep understanding of the startup life cycle in science-based ventures, strong relationship-management skills across faculty, investors, and industry, and a genuine passion for developing the next generation of entrepreneurial researchers are essential.
