Salary- DOE
Reed are recruiting for an experienced, credible and self-sufficient postholder who can step into an established operation, maintain momentum and strengthen our clients presence in Scotland.

*Scotland credibility: strong current understanding of the Scottish political, economic and business landscape, with the confidence to explain what it means for directors and businesses.

*Stakeholder influence: able to manage and influence members, senior business stakeholders, policymakers, partners, sponsors and internal colleagues. We want purposeful relationships that achieve outcomes, not networking for its own sake.
*Strategy and execution: can develop direction and convert it into focused plans, priorities, ownership and delivery.
*Commercial instinct: comfortable identifying opportunities around membership, sponsorship and partnerships while protecting member value and organisational credibility.
*Member focus: visible and responsive to members, able to understand recurring themes and turn member insight into action.
Duties included-
*Lead operations across Scotland in alignment with UK strategy and the needs of members across the nation.
*Collaborate with the relevant Management Team members to develop annual plans and budget
*Provide proactive and inspirational leadership
*Work closely with National and Branch Chairs to deliver engagement programmes

*Represent and promote Scotland’s interests with senior stakeholders and the Executive Management Team.
*Direct the work program and oversight for the Nations Senior Policy Advisor to ensure our policy work is effectively delivering on our influence agenda for members in Scotland.
*Review administrative processes and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
*Undertake additional duties and projects as reasonably required.
