We are excited to invite Expressions of Interest for the new role of Entrepreneur-in-Residence to empower and inspire our student entrepreneurs. This part-time, flexible role is part of our commitment to inclusion, innovation, and representation in enterprise.
We’re looking for a passionate, experienced founder who can share real-world insights and mentor students—particularly women and marginalised voices—to explore entrepreneurship.
Objective
This residency is part of our mission to embed inclusive role models within university innovation spaces—and ensure that all students, regardless of background, feel entrepreneurship is for them. There is a specific focus on supporting women of colour, but this role should also be a spokesperson for inclusive entrepreneurship more broadly.
The Role
As an Entrepreneur in Residence, you will work closely with the Enterprise team to:
- Mentor and advise (primarily, but not exclusively) diverse founders on business ideas, pitching and investor relations, and growth
- Host informal drop-ins and themed workshops bringing in own experience
- Provide visibility, representation, and lived experience in startup spaces
- Work with the QUEST team to shape inclusive support pathways and develop case studies
- Act as a role model and advocate for women of colour in innovation and entrepreneurship
There is a financial contribution to time and effort associated with this role, based on approximately 1 day/month over the next academic year (November 2025-June 2026 inclusive). There is the possibility of extension, subject to review.
