Summary of Position
This is an exciting time to join MGS as we embark on year two of Museum Futures, a programme created to accelerate collaboration, innovation, and organisational sustainability within the sector. It’s also the final year of Delivering Change, a collaborative programme to enable organisations to restructure based on anti-oppressive principles. Alongside this, we are working to strengthen and expand the impact of our advocacy work.

As Marketing and PR Officer, you will play a key role in delivering communications across these programmes, as well as a range of MGS projects.   

 A key support position within a busy Marketing and Communications team, you will contribute to and champion an integrated approach across the full marketing and communications mix. With a strong awareness of MGS and our key audiences, you will help implement relevant strategies, processes and activity that raise the profile of both Scotland’s museums and MGS, while also sharing best practice to support sector development. 

The Marketing and PR Officer will be an experienced communicator with a positive, ’can-do’ attitude, who understands how to tailor activity to reach different audiences and is comfortable working with the media.  Strong communication skills are essential, including the ability to give and receive constructive feedback. 

The role also requires excellent organisational and administrative skills, with close attention to detail. The ability to multitask and demonstrate enthusiasm and initiative constitutes a natural part of the job.
