This is a hands-on role requiring close coordination with internal teams across Marketing, Ticketing, Technology, Volunteering, and Commercial, as well as external suppliers and delivery partners.

From scoping and procurement through to launch readiness and Games-time support, you will be accountable for timelines, budgets, risk management, and quality assurance. You’ll help ensure Glasgow 2026’s digital presence reflects our inclusive brand values, meets rigorous accessibility and data protection standards, and drives engagement with audiences around the world.

Acting as the main point of contact for digital suppliers, developers, and creative agencies, you will ensure projects are clearly briefed, tracked, and reported, while coordinating internal teams across Marketing, Ticketing, Technology, Volunteering, and Commercial to align requirements and resolve issues quickly. You will establish strong governance, project tracking, and reporting processes to manage risks, budgets, and quality control, and you will supervise hosting, cybersecurity, and content delivery strategies in collaboration with the Technology team.

You will oversee user testing, pre-launch quality assurance, and performance monitoring to deliver accessible, user-centred digital experiences that meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and comply with GDPR. You will also provide operational readiness planning, training, and contingency support to ensure seamless Games-time delivery of all digital services. Throughout the project lifecycle, you will document processes, monitor analytics to inform future improvements, and contribute to post-Games debriefs and legacy reporting.
