You will manage a specialist team that includes the Land Rights and Responsibilities Manager, Good Practice Advisers and the Community Benefits from Nature Adviser, supporting their work with landowners, managers and communities. Reporting to the Chief Executive and working as part of the senior management team, you will also help the organisation prepare for new and expanding responsibilities.

Job description

Purpose of role

This is a pivotal leadership role with responsibility for shaping, leading and delivering the Commissions advice and casework function to support responsible land ownership in Scotland.
