This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the management and operation of a charity dedicated to Edinburgh’s historic environment and heritage, working with passionate staff, Trustees and partners.

We are looking for an experienced Head of Finance & Operations to lead on the delivery of finance, governance, HR and office objectives, enabling the organisation to run smoothly and efficiently.

Part of the Senior Management Team, the Head of Finance & Operations supports the Director and other senior managers in the leadership and direction of the charity, helping to formulate and execute the organisational strategy and ensuring that Edinburgh World Heritage meets the goals of the integrated business plan and organisational outcomes.

Edinburgh is a unique place – steeped in history, with iconic topography and stunning historic buildings and public spaces. In 1995, the ‘Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site’ was inscribed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Edinburgh World Heritage, an independent charity, co-ordinates the management of the Site with its partners, the City Council and Historic Environment Scotland. Our vision is to make Edinburgh an inspirational and empowering place to live, work, study or visit – no matter who you are. We believe that heritage and conservation are central to making this happen, connecting people to the city and the World Heritage Site.
