Who are we?
Cricket Scotland is the national governing body for cricket in Scotland. We are responsible for developing the game at every level – from grassroots clubs and leagues to elite international competition.

Our 2024–2028 strategy – Uniting People and Communities through Cricket sets out a clear vision for cricket in Scotland, focused on:

  • Developing sustainable success on the pitch

Recent highlights include the women’s qualification for their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2024 and Scotland being confirmed as co-host for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2030.

Why join us?
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute your expertise to support the growth of cricket in Scotland. The Commercial Communications and Marketing Committee (CCMC) plays a central role in shaping our commercial, communications and marketing plans, strengthening the profile of the sport, and supporting sustainable success on and off the pitch.

What is the role of the Commercial Communications and Marketing Committee?

The CCMC is one of the non-standing committees of the Cricket Scotland Council Limited (CSCL) Board. Its primary purpose is to oversee the organisation’s long-term commercial, communications and marketing plans in line with its objectives, and to ensure effective monitoring and reporting are in place.

The duties and responsibilities of the CCMC include (but are not limited to):

  • Identify and assist in progressing relevant commercial and sponsorship activities for the financial benefit of CSCL and its members.
  • Ensure significant sourcing strategies, tenders, contract award recommendations and variations are subject to appropriate review, in line with CSCL’s organisational strategy and policies, for submission to the CSCL Board for review and approval.
  • Assist in enabling better visibility and profile of cricket in Scotland.
  • Oversee communications to all members, partners and stakeholders so they are regularly informed of CSCL activities.
  • Ensure communications and marketing plans are shared with partner organisations and media, where appropriate, to maximise exposure and impact.
  • Support the aspiration of Cricket Scotland to inspire a new generation of young cricketers.

Role Description

  • Provide insight and expertise on the commercial landscape both within cricket and in a wider context, considering the needs of the governing body, regional associations, leagues and clubs.
  • Support the delivery of a commercial plan which fits the needs of the governing body.
  • Identify and support the development of existing and new revenue streams for the governing body and the wider domestic game.
  • Support the delivery of Cricket Scotland’s strategy and objectives for communications, public relations, branding, digital presence and media engagement.
  • Assist in identifying and defining key messaging around the marketing and promotion of Scottish cricket.
  • Advise on the governing body’s website and digital media presence and activity.
  • Advise on and review publications including annual reports or promotional material.
  • Attend and contribute to regular committee meetings and working groups, actively participating in decision-making processes.

  • Play a central role on the Committee focused on driving cultural change within Cricket Scotland and across Scottish cricket.
  • Uphold the values of Cricket Scotland and act in the best interests of the domestic game at all times.

  • Bring outside knowledge, experience, and innovative perspectives to the organisation by acting as a project sponsor for various initiatives.
  • Ensure the alignment of commercial, communications and marketing activities with Cricket Scotland’s broader strategic objectives.

  • Attend relevant Cricket Scotland meetings and events, contributing to the organisation’s profile and impact.

Essential
  • Strong knowledge and understanding of the commercial, communications and marketing landscape within sport, cricket and/or Scotland.
  • Experience in commercial, media and communications, digital media or marketing management roles.

  • Ability to commit sufficient time to attend meetings and contribute to ongoing initiatives.

Our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion
Cricket Scotland is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We believe that diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences leads to stronger governance and decision-making.

In line with the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018, and our organisational values, we are actively working to increase the representation of women on our committees and Board. We therefore strongly encourage applications from suitably qualified women, who are currently under-represented at this level, as well as from individuals from other under-represented groups.

Our ambition is to build committees and a Board that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and ensure cricket in Scotland is truly a game for all.

Time Commitment
If you wish to be considered for this opportunity, it is important that you are aware of the commitment required:

  • A minimum of six committee meetings per year, and the AGM.
  • Meetings are usually held in person at locations across Scotland, so members must be able and willing to travel.
  • Travel across Scotland and occasional overnight accommodation may be required as part of this role.
  • In addition to meetings, you may be asked to contribute to working groups or represent Cricket Scotland at relevant events.
  • Overall, the role is likely to require on average 1–2 days per quarter, including preparation and attendance.
  •  Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed; however, the role is intended for individuals who can attend meetings in Scotland without reliance on long-distance or international travel.
