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!

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.
