The Business Engagement Solutions Team (BEST) in CSIRO is part of Business Development and Global (BD&G), and plays an important role in providing enterprise level market and business analytical support to various groups across CSIRO. We are currently seeking two Market Analysts for 3-year specified term positions, flexible on location.

Market analysis is a vital element in researchers’ decision-making processes about future commercial pathways for their research and technology. Demand is increasing for this work as business units realise the value of tailored and professional market analysis. These roles will work closely with other market analysts, as well as the broader BD&G community and scientists, to analyse and provide recommendations on target markets and commercial pathways. We are looking for professionals with a scientific background and broad interest across many science disciplines, combined with a high level of business and commercial acumen.

• Provide support to the Commercialisation team through market scoping.
• Manage stakeholder engagement, present results to internal teams and workshops, facilitate market-related discussions.
• Contribute to a team environment that values equity and diversity and enables the achievement of personal objectives, team and organisational KPIs, including adhering to the spirit and practice of CSIRO’s values, HSE policies and diversity initiatives.
• Other duties and tasks that may arise as priorities for the team and for BD&G.
