Help write women back into Scotland’s history — and our future

At Protests and Suffragettes CIC, we’re building a Scotland where the stories of suffragettes and women changemakers aren’t hidden footnotes but vibrant, public, and everywhere — in schools, museums, murals, and on the open web. Over the next three years, we’re scaling workshops, murals, creative commissions, and a national community that will reshape how women’s history is remembered, celebrated, and taught — ramping toward the 2028 Centenary of the Equal Franchise Act (which gave all women in the UK the right to vote).

We’re hiring a Business Development Lead to turn momentum into sustainable growth. If you’re a creative doer who loves turning relationships into revenue and purpose into partnerships, come build this with us!

Why this role matters

You’ll be the connective tissue between our mission and our markets — growing income streams that fuel direct social impact: more school resources in more hands, more murals on more walls, more communities equipped to tell their own stories.

What you’ll do (the fun stuff)

• Grow our income streams
• Shop: Drive sales, secure museum/boutique stockists, and help onboard new merchandise.
• eCommerce: Drive online sales through targeted ads, search engine optimisations, increasing the sales platforms we’re on, and making our customer journey sing.
• Commissions: Nurture leads for murals/creative commissions with corporate sponsors, third sector partners, and local authorities.
• Events/Tours/Consultation: Working with our Director, you’ll package and sell our ‘Suffragette Stall’, walking tours, and research/engagement consultancy.
• Patreon: Help design tiers and campaigns that turn supporters into subscribers, and grow our community of supporters.
• Workshops: Promote and convert enquiries for creative, Wikipedia, and women’s empowerment workshops in community groups, third sector organisations, and educational institutions (HEIs/ FEs).

What we offer

• Real impact: your work directly funds our mission, including inspiring communities across Scotland as we run workshops, co-create murals, and share educational resources across Scotland.
• Flexible, part-time working based in Glasgow + home/hybrid. (Willing to consider applications from wider Scotland. Some presence in Glasgow required).
• Learning & growth: access to partners and networks across culture, education, and social enterprise.
• A kind, collaborative team culture with brilliant volunteers and national partners.
