We are looking for a Funding & Research Partnerships Manager (m/f/d) to join our Research Partnerships team, supporting our PIQC activities through the preparation of competitive funding applications. In this role, you will work closely with quantum computing and physics experts to translate advanced research topics into clear, structured narratives. Beyond scientific writing, the role involves coordinating inputs across research, legal, and commercial teams and shaping proposal sections that address impact, feasibility, and implementation.

Responsibilities:

• Identify and prioritize relevant national and international funding opportunities aligned with NVision’s quantum research activities.

• Lead the preparation, writing, and submission of competitive grant applications, combining scientific content with impact-focused narratives in line with funding requirements.

• Work closely with interdisciplinary researchers to translate advanced theoretical and experimental concepts into clear, structured proposals.

• Develop proposal narratives beyond core research descriptions, including objectives, work plans, implementation concepts, as well as, impact framing.

• Coordinate inputs, timelines, and formal requirements across external collaborators, funding bodies, and internal stakeholders, including legal, commercial, and management teams.

• Support post-grant implementation and reporting, including coordination of stakeholder inputs and tracking of grant milestones and deliverables.

• PhD in Quantum Computing, Quantum Physics, Physics, or a closely related field.

• Strong understanding of quantum technologies and advanced physics concepts.

• Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to independently drive a full grant submission cycle from sourcing to successful grant implementation.

• Demonstrated experience in scientific writing, including grant proposals and/or peer-reviewed publications.

• Ability to critically assess and clearly communicate complex scientific content.

• Experience working with researchers in collaborative, research-driven environments.

• Excellent written communication skills in English; proficiency in German is strongly preferred.

• Competitive compensation, based on base salary and stock options

• Flexible working model and working hours

• Key role in a highly advanced and fast-growing startup company

Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager

NVision is a quantum biotech startup based in Ulm, Germany, with Tier 1 investors from the USA and Europe. We are just leaving stealth mode, moving from local R&D to global commercialization and expansion.

We are developing a technology that will enable MRI-based imaging of real-time metabolism in the body, with tremendous potential for research and applications in oncology, cardiology, neurology and more. Our company brings together expertise in physics, chemistry, engineering and medicine, and we are collaborating with scientists and clinicians from top medical and research centers such as Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, MD Anderson in Texas, Technical University of Munich, Cambridge University in the UK and more.

NVision is developing fast, robust and easy-to-use hyperpolarization technology for preclinical and clinical research in our POLARIS product line. Those devices are placed close to an MRI scanner in a research or clinical environment to produce hyperpolarized contrast agents on demand in a fast, fully-automated, multi-step chemical process. Key steps of the process contain fluidic transport across multiple vessels and chemical mixing and separation processes in fully-reuseable or single-use disposable fluid paths. We develop our commercial products jointly with external design and manufacturing partners and the process development as well as the design and manufacturing of prototypes is done entirely in-house.

We offer a dynamic international working environment, with immense room for growth, that encourages personal initiative and open communication.
