About the role
We’re recruiting this new role to increase our support, training, and advice to enable charities to make strategic use of digital and technology, particularly AI tools and platforms.
Our new AI Development Officer will contribute to scaling our advice and support around digital tools and AI adoption, enabling hundreds more charities to apply these more effectively and making Scotland a better place as a result.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Create and improve our existing content
- Give talks and provide training online and in-person
- Engage with our partners to create links to their resources
- Contribute to discussions on digital matters at national and local levels
About you

Your strong, engaging communication skills will enable you to build relationships with our partners, colleagues, and wider charity staff and volunteers (including those who are non-technical!).
Your understanding of the charity sector in Scotland – or being able to pick this up quickly – will enable you to contribute to planning, deliver presentations, and explore solutions to the digital challenges facing the sector.
