**Job summary**:
**Background: The UK Space Agency**:
The UK Space Agency (UKSA) 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 UKSA 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 description**:

- Working with the Venture Capital community to diversify the UK’s space investor pool.
- Supporting space companies that are seeking to attract institutional investment.
- Building a long-term ‘Unlocking Space for Investment’ community that can contribute to, and benefit from, wider UKSA investment activity.

This is a tremendous opportunity to shape and deliver a major new programme to catalyse investment. You will gain the opportunity to manage delivery partners to drive the directorate’s objectives. You will also gain the opportunity to design and implement government financial support for innovation. This role will provide visible leadership to the programme, championing it within government and with the space sector, and be responsible for making authoritative recommendations to and winning the support of the space sector, investors and senior officials across government.
