The Role
This role will manage the 'Equal Media and Culture Centre Scotland', an initiative that focusses on securing intersectional gender equality in Scotland’s media and cultural landscape. The Centre works to increase accountability around equality within media and cultural institutions through a programme of research development, awareness raising, advocacy, partnership-working, and shared learning.
This project delivers on a recommendation from the First Minister's National Advisory Council for Women and Girls.
The Candidate
The successful candidate will have experience in managing a project including developing a strategy and plan, managing a budget and successful delivery of objectives. They will be confident in research and analysis, and have excellent writing abilities, capable of producing high-quality materials. An understanding of intersectional feminism and a strong commitment to promoting equality are essential.
The role requires knowledge of Scotland's media, culture, and creative industries, coupled with a demonstrated ability to build and maintain effective partnerships and stakeholder relationships. We value strategic thinking and the ability to provide vision and direction for initiatives.
