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 £18.9 billion and employs 52,028 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.

The Telecoms Team sits within the UK Space Agency’s Investment Directorate and is responsible for delivering government investment into some of the most cutting-edge communications technologies in the world, from commercial satellite communications (with a focus on Low Earth Orbit, or LEO), to emerging opportunities in lunar and quantum connectivity.
We’re looking for two programme managers to join us on a fixed-term basis to help deliver the next phase of the Connectivity in Low Earth Orbit (C-LEO) programme, a flagship funding programme supporting the development of advanced technologies that will underpin the UK’s future in space-based connectivity.
This is a high-value, commercially focused investment programme aimed at strengthening UK industry, accelerating innovation, and driving economic growth, with real-world impact for millions of people globally.
You’ll be working in a delivery environment, engaging with industry, academia, and international partners. You’ll learn how space programmes are managed at pace, how investment is used to catalyse technological breakthroughs, and how policy, industry, and delivery intersect in a strategic and fast-evolving area.
In particular, you will ensure the team delivers on
Programme delivery
- Support the day-to-day delivery of the C-LEO programme, ensuring milestones, deliverables, and reporting obligations are met.
- Work with the G7 Programme Lead and colleagues across the Agency to keep delivery on track and risks under control.
Governance and assurance
- Ensure governance structures are working effectively and properly maintained.
- Coordinate approvals processes, ensure decisions are recorded appropriately, and that audit trails are in place.
Financial management
- Monitor project spend and profiling, working with finance and commercial teams to ensure accurate reporting and timely payments.
- Manage a portfolio of individual grant awards, ensuring recipients are delivering to time, budget, and scope.
- Monitor project spend and profiling, working with finance and commercial teams to ensure accurate reporting and timely payments.
- Help maintain programme flexibility by responding to changes in project delivery, supporting adjustments where needed in a fast-paced delivery environment.
Risk and issue management
- Track, assess, and respond to risks and issues as they emerge — escalating where needed and ensuring mitigations are in place and monitored.
Benefits tracking
- Support the design and management of the benefits framework for the programme.
- Work with technical, policy, and analytical colleagues to identify and articulate the value delivered through UKSA investments.
Stakeholder engagement
- Build strong working relationships with delivery partners across industry, academia, and other government departments.
- Represent the programme in meetings with senior stakeholders and support strategic engagement with key partners.
Wider support
- Contribute to business case development for follow-on activity or new investment opportunities.
- Support the development of ministerial and senior briefings, providing timely and accurate information on programme progress and challenges.
- Contribute to other work across the Telecoms Team as priorities evolve, this could include helping shape new initiatives, managing calls for proposals, or supporting international engagement.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of a fast-moving, high-profile area of the UK’s space ambitions. You don’t need to be a space expert, what we’re looking for is someone who can work confidently with stakeholders and can manage complex delivery activity.
