About Money Advice Scotland (MAS)
MAS is Scotland’s leading money charity, committed to promoting financial wellbeing across Scotland. We support individuals in debt, provide essential training and resources to money advisers, and influence policy to create a fairer financial landscape. As a membership organisation, we empower the money advice sector through comprehensive training, events, and resources, ensuring that advisers are well-equipped to meet the growing demand for financial guidance.
In addition to advocating for fair treatment of people in debt, we play a crucial role in influencing policy and improving financial capability. Our efforts include delivering educational workshops in schools, colleges, and workplaces, and providing a strong, persuasive voice for consumers and the advice sector. By working closely with our members, we address early signs of consumer harm and help shape a more just and responsive financial environment in Scotland.
Job Purpose
MAS is moving into an exciting new phase of its evolution. The Board of Trustees, in conjunction with the Senior Leadership Team have agreed to an ambitious new strategy to secure Money Advice Scotland as a thought leader with a clear mission:
“Money Advice Scotland is empowering all sectors in Scotland to build a collaborative and multi-disciplinary front-line to tackle the human impact of debt and improve financial well-being. Money Advisors can’t do this alone. Each sector is different with unique challenges and a specific role in helping Scotland’s money advisors tackle debt issues in the classrooms; workplaces and homes of Scotland. We will engage with each sector, understand its role and help to equip key decision makers to join our ‘trauma-informed’ debt network.
Let’s broaden the front-line of understanding and support to deal with individuals with debt. Wherever they are. And whoever they are.”
We are looking for a new CEO to help to deliver this vision. A natural campaigner with a track record of matching societal need with campaigns which cut-through and engage partners and potential funders. Our new CEO will have several key attributes:
The CEO will provide visionary leadership and work closely with the Board of Trustees and the Senior Leadership Team to advance the mission of MAS. Building on the strong foundation already established, the CEO will focus on driving the organisation’s external growth by forging strategic partnerships, expanding our influence, and developing new income streams. With a clear strategic plan in place, the CEO’s primary role will be to champion MAS’s mission externally, positioning the organisation as a leader in financial well-being across Scotland.
While the Senior Leadership Team oversees day-to-day operations, the CEO will be a dynamic and outward-focused leader, responsible for enhancing our public profile, fostering key relationships, and ensuring the financial sustainability of the organisation through innovative income generation and strategic networking.
