If you are a talented administrator from a membership organisation or similar with experience working with customer relationship management (CRM) system in a busy environment, we want to hear from you.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) has recently launched a new election process to elect new Fellows to the Society.

  • Provide administrative support to the team to assist with implementing the 2025/26 fellowship election process.
  • Coordinate the operation of the Divisional Panel meetings, including ensuring that all members have the relevant meeting information and papers that they require.
  • Manage the collection and collation of references for shortlisted candidates in the 2025/26 Fellowship election process.
  • Document new processes as required for the new election cycle and across the work of the Fellowship team.
  • We would love to hear from you if you have the skills and experience needed for this role and can demonstrate the desire to give strong administrative support to a busy team.
