EURO 2028 Advisor

We are the UK's trusted high-performance experts, powering our greatest athletes, teams, sports and events to achieve positive success. Investing a combination of National Lottery and Government funds, we support our Olympic and Paralympic sports to realise their world-leading potential and help bring major sporting events to the UK. Our purpose is to lead high-performance sport to enable extraordinary moments that enrich lives. We are on a mission - to create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments; reaching, inspiring and uniting the nation. That mission is underpinned by three ambitions for UK high-performance sport; to keep winning and win well, to grow a thriving sporting system and to harness those to inspire positive change. Working with the sports and events we fund, DCMS, and our partner organisations across the UK high-performance system, we are building on 25 years of ever-growing success to write the UK's next chapter for Olympic and Paralympic sport. About the role: As the EURO 2028 Advisor, you'll play a key role in supporting UK Sport's responsibilities for one of the most significant sporting events of the decade. UEFA EURO 2028 will be delivered across the UK & Ireland, and this role sits at the heart of the partnership that supports its successful planning and delivery. You'll help manage UK Sport's day-to-day relationship with the delivery body, UK & Ireland 2028 Ltd (UK&I), providing assurance, technical expertise and constructive challenge across key areas of event planning and delivery. Drawing on your experience of major or mega events, you'll lead engagement and assurance across defined operational workstreams, such as security, transport, venues or football operations, ensuring robust planning, risk management and delivery against agreed funding and governance frameworks. Alongside this, you'll lead defined projects within the UK Sport EURO 2028 team, coordinate work that spans multiple workstreams, contribute to reporting and decision making, and help strengthen collaboration across a complex, multi-partner landscape. This role offers a rare opportunity to help influence the delivery of a globally significant tournament, while working in a collaborative, expert and mission driven team. Who will I be working with? You'll work closely with the EURO 2028 Senior Advisor, colleagues across the UK Sport EURO 2028 team, DCMS, football partners, host cities, venues and a wide range of delivery partners across the UK & Ireland.

You're an experienced major events professional with a strong background in strategic planning, assurance or delivery within complex, high-profile event environments. You bring hands-on knowledge of working with delivery bodies or organising committees and have technical expertise in one or more operational areas such as security, transport, venues or football operations. You're confident building trusted relationships across multiple stakeholders, providing constructive challenge while enabling successful delivery. Organised, analytical and calm under pressure, you're comfortable working across multiple workstreams, assessing plans and budgets, and translating complex information into clear insights. Above all, you're collaborative, values-driven and motivated by the opportunity to help deliver a world-class tournament that benefits communities across the UK & Ireland.
