Application deadline: 10 August 2026 (end of day)

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a strong background in technology transfer or IP strategy who is ready to focus on creating real impact rather than merely optimizing for grant cycles. You will be positioned at the intersection of KAUST research and Vision 2030, where success is measured by the industries created rather than the patents filed.

Such positions are rare, and this one has just become available. Join KAUST in building a transformative future.

In this role, you will lead a skilled team of IP Managers, collaborate with some of the world's leading researchers and innovators, and shape KAUST's portfolio to maximize its impact.
