Would you like to be at the heart of developing innovative and transformative ideas? Are you interested in being part of a team that ensures space technology can address UK and global societal challenges? Do you want to lead a Mission which will make a real difference? If so, you may be who we’re looking for

The Satellite Applications Catapult (Catapult) is at the forefront of the burgeoning UK Space Industry. Our mission leads identify and unlock the growth opportunities and impacts from a space sector perspective. This is a unique opportunity to work with experts all over the country. Working collaboratively, you will create and lead a team to help grow the UK’s space sector.

Our four missions are strongly aligned with the Space Strategy themes to “Grow and level-up our space economy” and “Use space to deliver for UK citizens and the world”. They create the conditions for the space sector to flourish by delivering innovation with purpose. The mission-oriented innovation approach provides a framework for targeted innovation, through which we will achieve our intended impacts: UK growth, development and adoption of satellite-enabled technologies, and delivery of cross-cutting policy priorities.

The** Beyond Our Earth** mission will drive a thriving, equitable and sustainable in-space economy, helping to solve grand challenges on Earth by 2030. It will be up to you to harness space technology and leverage the opportunities presented by space to tackle the challenges of today and unlock the potential of tomorrow. The space sector has been transforming rapidly, enabled by new entrants, low-cost launch and new manufacturing techniques. New mega constellations of satellites are a significant opportunity, prompting the development and provision of new services. Building on existing space technologies, in-orbit logistics, assembly and manufacturing will be an integral part of the new space economy and will be driven by advances in robotics and AI.

The assembly of large structures in space, refuelling, manufacturing, servicing and debris removal are all crucial to both the next phase of growth for the space industry, and our ability to solve grand challenges on Earth. The detail of this is for you to shape. We are also expanding our focus to enable and support longer-term opportunities for innovation such as the exploitation of microgravity, assembly and manufacture in space, and space energy. This mission will promote the role of UK organisations in the emerging low earth orbit economy. It will create opportunities for the UK space and adjacent sectors, adding to our national capability, creating growth and elevating our standing internationally.

Reporting into our Chief of Missions, this is a highly networked role that requires an ability to work under pressure and to challenging deadlines. It requires knowledge and skills in team management, leadership and collaboration, strong commercial acumen and depth of knowledge and experience in a key area that would enable at least one of our Missions (that could be anything from space systems engineering, Net zero, anthropology etc). Prior experience of bidding for and shaping technical projects and services is an advantage but not essential.

Key Responsibilities:
**As the Mission lead, you will.**
- ** Collaborate **- you will demonstrate by example that the best solutions come from a diverse group of thinkers, within our organisation and beyond it
- ** Make a difference** - Drive growth of the team’s impact for the UK, through thought-leadership, collaboration, creating and pursuing opportunities and delivery on commitments.
- ** Meet needs** - Ensure availability of staff is well-matched to foreseen and potential demands from our activities.
- ** Manage and support your People** - Line Management and development of staff within the team.
- ** Coordinate** - Ensure that SAC is more than the sum of its parts. Support and draw on every function of the Catapult, to achieve best possible impact.
- ** Shape** and lead the strategy and delivery of the Intervention (including projects and services that comprise it) ensuring realisation of outputs and outcomes towards the Catapult’s mission goals and objectives.

**You will also be involved in**
- Developing a financial plan for impact creating activity and a schedule for milestones.
- Preparing to adapt, pause
