Crynodeb
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.

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.

Background: The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC)
The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) combines and coordinates civil and military space domain awareness capabilities to enable operations, promote prosperity, and protect UK interests in space and on earth from space-related threats, risks, and hazards.
UK Space Agency responsibilities under NSpOC include operating the UK’s uncontrolled re-entry early warning system, the UK satellite collision avoidance system, the UK in-space fragmentation monitoring service, the UK asteroid early warning capability (planetary defence), support to launch and several other mission-sets to deliver UK national security and national space goals. These responsibilities will likely expand in 2025/26.
NSpOC has been in development since 2021 and officially launched in May 2024. NSpOC is a hybrid organisation with UK Space Agency personnel working from UK Space Agency locations. Our Operations Team is co-located with military operations in RAF High Wycombe. Whilst visiting High Wycombe may be possible if the post holder desires, this role will be based at UK Space Agency’s offices in either Cardiff, Edinburgh, Harwell or Leicester.
This role will provide commercial support to NSpOC with a specific focus on contract management. Based within UK Space Agency’s central Commercial Team, it will have responsibility for day-to-day contract management of a number of complex contracts ranging in value from £30,000 up to £10m+. This role will work closely with NSpOC operational personnel and look to maximise the value of these important capabilities. In addition to contract management, there will be opportunities to get involved in future NSpOC procurement activity, from business case stage through to tender and mobilisation.
