As an organisation, we have been responding to how we can meet this moment to achieve climate justice in Scotland and beyond.

Next year, the organisation will undertake a strategy refresh, and we are open to reflecting how we operate to achieve our strategic aims.
We are now recruiting two people for the role of Director of Transformation to work as co-leads on our SLT to develop the systems, skills, internal capacities and accountability frameworks that our new strategy requires. Outward-facing leadership, including press liaison, leading on strategic decision-making and campaign oversight, will stay with our current leads.
We’re looking for a pair who bring complementary skills, experience and knowledge in areas such as organisational change, HR and accountability frameworks, co-leadership, community and/or labour organising and financial oversight.
