We’re particularly keen to hear from people who have:

• Previous track record in a business development role primarily in B2B markets
• Experience of negotiating and building effective relationships and partnerships with external organisations
• Knowledge/willingness to learn of the issues and experiences of people with learning disabilities and/or neurodivergence
• Previous experience of writing and submitting successful funding applications and tenders

This new role would suit someone who is naturally very well-organised, able to build strong relationships and garner support, enjoys working with lots of partners, has experience of Scottish politics, and is committed to climate action and justice.

You’ll lead on our engagement with stakeholders, MSPs, government officials and party staff and work to build support through sympathetic groups such as unions and the faith community, in order to help to mobilise our supporters and grow the strong public support for action. You’ll be part of the small SCCS secretariat team that provides support to our diverse members and works with them to plan and deliver advocacy and campaigns activities, so you’ll need to be a great communicator, enthusiastic, proactive and willing to be flexible.

With Scottish elections taking place in 2026, this is an important time to be influencing climate policy. This role will play an essential part in helping the Scottish climate movement navigate the new political context, boost our impact and win deeper support for urgency and action.

Together, we represent hundreds of thousands of people across Scotland and stand in solidarity with communities most affected by climate impacts around the world.

Key Tasks

• Designing an advocacy strategy with our members and leading on the delivery of this, with activities likely to include producing briefings, meeting with MSPs and officials, giving evidence to committees attending party conferences and responding to consultations, amongst other ways identified in work plans to influence politicians.

• Attending and organising stakeholder gatherings to recruit more diverse members and build support from unions, the faith community and sympathetic organisations to deliver a more unified, consistent and powerful political voice for urgent climate action which, in turn, will help influence the politicians that rely on these key stakeholders for votes and funding.
• Ensuring political influencing is connected with media work, mobilising supporters and wider stakeholders, and running public campaigns to build and maintain the public support for action.
• Day to day monitoring and analysis of the Scottish Parliament, identifying opportunities and sharing information with members.
• Working with UK organisations on relevant Westminster/reserved matters that affect Scotland, and with TCC, our sister UK coalition, to develop their Local Intelligence Hub so that it becomes a platform Scottish campaigners can use to track advocacy and impact.
• Supporting members – especially smaller organisations – with their advocacy, offering advice and support when needed.
