Active Security Check (SC) clearance is essential About the Role We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and detail-oriented Acceleration Co-ordination Manager to provide the operational backbone of our Acceleration Team.

Working closely with acceleration leads, intervention managers and wider stakeholders, you will coordinate sprint activities, manage actions and risks, maintain key programme information and produce high-quality reporting to support decision-making.

You will also help develop the team's digital capability, using Microsoft tools to improve reporting, automate processes and reduce administrative effort. For the right candidate, this role offers an opportunity to build on existing project support, PMO or business operations experience while developing practical skills in Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps.
