Income generation lead/Business manager

The Ferret is Scotland’s award-winning investigative platform. We’re owned by our members, not by billionaires or corporations, and our focus is on investigating the powerful and holding them to account.

We operate differently to most media organisations. We are a not-for-profit co-operative, which means our members help to shape some of our decisions. We also have a non-hierarchical team, which means the big decisions are made

collectively.

After 10 successful years, we’re taking The Ferret to the next level, and we’re looking for someone to come on board to help us grow and develop. We’re looking for a talented business manager who can improve our resilience as an organisation over the coming years, ensure our financial stability, and make sure we continue serving our members and readers.

Working three days per week, you’ll lead on our income generation from grants, develop our organisational strategy in collaboration with the team, oversee our budgets and liaise with our board and staff to agree annual plans and track our progress.

You’ll be a self-starter, used to working without supervision and have an entrepreneurial nature and a creative approach. We’re looking for a combination of great project management skills, plenty of experience in partnership working and

funding expertise. While knowledge of the independent media space is an advantage, we can teach you what you need to know.

As our slogan goes, our journalism changes things. This is an opportunity to help us fulfill that mission.

About the role

You will look after many of the non-editorial duties required to run The Ferret. A key part of your role will also be leading our fundraising strategy. You’ll seek out new revenue funding streams in the UK, Europe and internationally, and work alongside our editorial team to develop ideas and projects that match with funding opportunities, in line with The Ferret’s aims and ethical guidelines.

Duties include:

Funding and other income generation

• Carrying out research to identify funding opportunities and conducting due diligence.
• Coordinating and tracking progress on applications and responses.
• Assisting in reporting on grants, ensuring that deadlines are met and budgets are adhered to.

Business plan and budget

Operations

• Developing partnership agreements for funded partnerships.
• Developing, maintaining and integrating organisational policies in line with best practice and schedule for regular review.

• Collaborating with colleagues to improve and streamline systems and processes where possible.

Board support

• Acting as the main point of contact for board members in relation to governance and compliance.
• Providing support to board chairs and directors.

Who are we looking for?

• Experience of financial management.
• A self-starter, with an entrepreneurial mindset, able to work with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrable experience managing projects and using influence to keep things on track.
• Commitment to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity across the organisation.

Desirable experience

• Knowledge of the independent media sector
• An understanding of how to support a voluntary board working in a related
• sector, such as media, non-profits, social enterprises or co-operatives.
• Experience developing membership growth and engagement strategies.
• Experience administering accounting and HR software.
• Competence with Google Suite and other cloud tools such as Slack and Trello

Our values

We are a value-driven organisation. We believe in transparency, we treasure accuracy and our journalism is non-partisan, and not-for-profit. The successful candidate will need to have a clear understanding of our culture, and a shared belief in its importance.

We are a non-hierarchical organisation with oversight provided by our board.

Employees have a say in the future of the organisation, and are expected to work both as part of a team and independently.

This role allows the successful candidate to help shape the future of our organisation, at a crucial time in politics and media.

Our offer

The salary is £37,700 (pro-rata). This is a part time role, working three days a week, on an initial one-year contract. It is anticipated that this will be renewed, subject to funding. It includes 21 days of paid annual leave, travel expenses and sick leave.

You can work remotely, or there is a community newsroom in Glasgow where you can work alongside other team members. There is a small allowance offered if you don’t live close enough to our newsroom. Our team aims to meet in person (usually Glasgow or Edinburgh) every two months and you will be expected to attend these meetings.

At PLUS, our Outreach Support Workers do much more than provide support. They build relationships, discover what matters to each person and create opportunities for children, young people and young adults to try new things, develop confidence, build independence and have fun.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone to try a new activity, explore their local community, develop a new skill, meet friends or simply enjoy doing something they love.

We are looking for people who are creative, reliable and compassionate, and who genuinely enjoy working alongside people with disabilities. At PLUS, we are guided by Respect, Compassion, Integrity and Dependability, and we expect these values to be reflected in how we work every day.

Due to the requirements of the role, we particularly encourage applications from people based locally.

Could you be part of a team that puts children, young people and young adults first, and works closely with families to plan and deliver personalised, meaningful support?

We are looking for a new Change Programmes Lead to join the FST Team!

Scotland’s performing arts sector is full of talented people, ambitious organisations and inspiring ideas. It also faces significant opportunities and challenges that no single organisation can address alone. Increasingly, progress depends on bringing people together, building partnerships and turning shared ambitions into practical action.

That’s why this role matters.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking, partnership-building and practical delivery to help shape programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector. Someone who can understand complex challenges, build trusted relationships, develop realistic plans and ensure ideas are followed through to meaningful outcomes.

The Change Programmes Lead plays a key role in helping FST turn ideas into action.

Working closely with members, partners and colleagues, you’ll identify opportunities for positive change, develop practical responses and lead programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Some programmes are already well established and ready to grow. Others are emerging ideas that require research, partnership development and careful planning. This role therefore combines strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping shape both current and future areas of work.

Current programmes span areas such as workforce development, mentoring, accessibility, environmental sustainability, organisational resilience and leadership development. While every programme is different, they all share a common purpose: helping Scotland’s performing arts sector become stronger, more connected and better equipped for the future.

This isn’t simply a project management role. It’s about understanding complex challenges, bringing people together, building trusted relationships and creating the conditions for meaningful change. You’ll work across organisations, balancing different perspectives while maintaining a clear focus on shared ambitions and tangible outcomes.

Current Programmes & Priorities

The Change Programmes portfolio continues to evolve in response to member needs and emerging opportunities. Some of the current programmes and workstreams you’ll help lead and develop include:

Bursaries & Professional Development

Leading FST’s professional development bursary programme while exploring opportunities to strengthen its impact, reach and long-term sustainability.

Mentoring & Coaching

Refreshing FST’s mentoring offer through reconnecting previous participants, piloting new models and lighter-touch support surgeries and peer learning.

Workforce Development & Training

Developing and delivering programmes around technical skills, leadership, sustainability and Fair Work through partnerships and targeted professional development opportunities.

Access & Inclusion

Working with Birds of Paradise, Creative Scotland and sector partners to support the future development of Access Scottish Theatre, Scotland’s engagement with the UK-wide All-In programme and wider accessibility infrastructure.

Emerging Needs & Opportunities

Working with FST members and partners to identify new priorities, develop collaborative initiatives and secure partnerships and funding that support the future development of Scotland’s performing arts sector.
