The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Accreditation Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of the accreditation programme for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games — a mission-critical role at the heart of operational success.
From athletes and team officials to media, volunteers, contractors, and VIPs, you’ll be responsible for making sure that the right people have the right access, at the right time, and in the right place. That means overseeing the planning, implementation, and management of a secure and scalable Accreditation Management System (AMS), while also coordinating across dozens of internal functions and external partners.
Your remit will be broad, fast-paced, and highly collaborative. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across Games Operations, Security, Venue Delivery, Sport, Technology, and the Games Family to gather requirements, plan delivery, define access zones, and support the seamless integration of accreditation into venue operations.
This isn’t just a technical or administrative task — accreditation is one of the key enablers of Games-time success. Your work will support the safety and efficiency of the Games, enable the smooth operation of all competition and non-competition venues, and shape the overall experience for thousands of people attending, working at, or taking part in Glasgow 2026.
You’ll lead a small, dedicated team, ensuring they’re trained, informed, and ready to support Games-time delivery. You’ll also oversee the operation of Accreditation Distribution Centres and help desks, troubleshoot in real-time during peak periods, and support reissuance or access escalation processes.
Above all, you'll bring a calm, methodical, and solutions-focused approach to a complex and constantly evolving project — one where planning, precision, and people skills are just as important as technical delivery.
This is a high-profile opportunity to play a critical role in one of the most visible operational functions of the Games, delivering behind-the-scenes impact on a global stage.
