If you are a creative, organised, and enthusiastic marketing professional with expertise in leveraging communication
channels to enhance public engagement and visibility, we want to hear from you.
The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) is seeking a Marketing Officer to help drive our mission of making knowledge
useful and increasing awareness of our impactful work. In this role, you will primarily support public
engagement activities and promote the RSE’s well-regarded academic journals.
This is a dynamic opportunity to bring your energy and creativity to the RSE, crafting content that resonates with
diverse audiences. A key aspect of the role will be your central involvement in bringing the RSE’s festival of
knowledge, Curious, to life each year.
As Scotland’s National Academy, with over 1,800 distinguished Fellows from academia, business, public service, and
the arts, we engage nationally and internationally to share knowledge and address some of the world’s most
pressing challenges.
We are looking for a talented individual to:
• Plan and deliver effective marketing campaigns for the RSE’s public engagement programme, including Curious
festival, partnership events, signature lectures, and regional activities across Scotland, building awareness,
engagement, and driving registrations.
• Develop creative and impactful marketing strategies that align with the RSE’s goal of broadening its audience base
and raising the organisation's profile, with a focus on reaching a diverse range of communities.
• Cultivate and strengthen relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, ensuring collaborative efforts
that enhance the reach and effectiveness of marketing across the RSE’s channels.
• Develop and implement a strategic marketing plan to enhance the profile and visibility of the RSE’s respected
academic journals, focusing on expanding reach, attracting new readership, and increasing engagement within the
academic community and beyond.
If you have the skills, creativity and experience needed for this role and can demonstrate the desire to develop
impactful marketing campaigns for the RSE that stand out from the rest, then we’d love to hear from you.
