At Historic Environment Scotland (HES) we believe that the historic environment shapes our identity. It tells us about the past, the present – and even points the way to the future.
We want the historic environment to make a real difference to people’s lives. A difference to our health, to our economy, to our culture, to our environment. We want heritage to involve everyone so that we all benefit.
We’re currently reshaping our organisation’s structure and will be bringing together our regional and site-based conservation, ranger and visitor operations teams into one Operations Directorate.
The Director of Operations role is a newly created position that will strengthen our regional footprint and deliver many of HES’ activities at a regional and local level across Scotland. Reporting to the Chief Executive, the postholder will be a member of the organisation’s Senior Management Team, working closely with senior leadership colleagues across the organisation and with the HES Board to lead the organisation to achieve its strategic vision.
You will provide leadership to the directorate, ensuring its active engagement with the delivery of HES corporate objectives. You will bring strong leadership and communications skills; fresh thinking and a strong customer and business improvement focus to HES. You will be tenacious and resilient, required to demonstrate exemplary personal judgement, initiative and collaborative skills.
Degree qualified or with senior director level experience of multi-disciplinary teams, you will have an excellent track record of operational delivery in a complex environment.
