**Job summary**:
**Background: The UK Space Agency**:
The UK Space Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) and provides technical advice on the government’s space strategy, supporting the UK space sector to deliver the government’s vision.

Space is a part of everyday life. Satellites underpin our national economy, from agriculture and banking to aviation and shipping, and support our national security. Space science provides critical data to understand and address global challenges such as climate change, while missions to explore our solar system unite nations and advance humanity’s horizons.

We support a thriving space sector in the UK, which generates an annual income of £16.5 billion and employs 47,000 people across the country.

Through our portfolio of programmes and projects, we encourage the development of national space capabilities and are an early-stage investor in space research and development. We also promote the UK space sector’s interests and achievements; make connections to join up industry and academia; and represent the UK in international space programmes.

We have a powerful global voice, partnering with institutions across the world, including the European Space Agency.

**Our Inclusive Environment**

We have an inclusive culture to make UK Space Agency a brilliant place to work where our people feel valued, have a voice and can be their authentic selves. We value difference and diversity, not only because we believe it is the right thing to do, but because it will help us be more innovative and make better decisions.

We offer first-class flexible working benefits, excellent employee well-being support and a great pension. We are fortunate to have a range of excellent staff networks and are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader employer. We will support talented people from all backgrounds to build a career and thrive.

**Job Purpose**

- Catalyse investment by supporting projects that drive investment and generate contracts for the UK space sector.
- Deliver space capabilities and missions that meet public needs and advance our understanding of the universe.
- Champion the power of space to inspire people and offer greener, smarter solutions for business, and to support a sustainable future.

Investment is key to delivering the National Space Strategy’s vision of building one of the most innovative and attractive space economies in the world. Catalysing Investment is at the heart of UK Space Agency’s Value Proposition, whereby for every pound that we put in and invest into the space sector, we want to get a positive multiplier impact into the UK economy. UK Space Agency has recently appointed its first Investment Director and has established a new Investment Directorate.

The post holder will be responsible for leadership of the UK Space Agency Telecommunications Team.
