Lead – Innovation Partnerships and Delivery – Secondment
Job Description:
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of one of London’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP). QEOP is flagged as one of London’s three leading Innovation Districts in the London Growth Plan, playing a strategic role in London’s productivity and potential for inclusive growth.
As Lead – Innovation Partnerships & Delivery, you will play a pivotal role in driving forward the Park’s Innovation District—home to world-leading institutions including a growing cluster of universities, startups, corporates and public sector partners. The District is a testbed for how place-based innovation can tackle major societal challenges, from climate and urban systems to health and public service transformation.
At the heart of this role is the creation of the QEOP Adoption Lab—a new, high-profile initiative designed to accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions in real-world public service and urban environments. The Lab will bring together government, academia and industry to test, evaluate and scale new approaches, turning innovation into practical, deployable outcomes for Londoners.
Alongside this, you will establish and convene the QEOP Innovation Board, a senior cross-sector forum to guide the strategic direction of the District and unlock new collaborative opportunities.
This is a unique role that blends strategy, partnership development and hands-on delivery—shaping new initiatives from concept through to implementation, and ensuring they generate tangible impact aligned to LLDC’s Inclusive Growth Framework.
What you’ll be doing- Leading the design and delivery of the QEOP Adoption Lab, from strategic case through to implementation
- Building and managing high-value partnerships across public, private and academic sectors
- Securing funding and investment to support innovation initiatives and long-term sustainability
- Convening and shaping the QEOP Innovation Board, driving a shared agenda for the District
- Coordinating complex, multi-organisation programmes and aligning stakeholders around common goals
- Translating ambitious ideas into structured, deliverable programmes with clear outcomes and impact
- Supporting senior leadership with strategic insight, briefings and engagement
More about the Adoption Lab
The QEOP Adoption Lab is a place-based initiative designed to tackle a critical systemic issue: while innovative solutions are increasingly available and often proven, they are not being adopted or scaled within public services and urban systems. This “adoption gap” stems from barriers such as procurement complexity, fragmented systems, workforce constraints, and misaligned incentives—resulting in repeated pilots but limited real-world impact. The Lab responds to this challenge by shifting the focus from innovation creation to innovation adoption, positioning the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as a live testbed where solutions can be embedded into everyday practice and scaled to deliver better outcomes for Londoners.
