Are you a dynamic and visionary leader with a passion for delivering results? Do you excel at inspiring and engaging diverse audiences and have a proven track record of securing substantial philanthropic support? If so, this is your chance to lead and shape the Development and Communications strategies at one of the world’s most prestigious botanical institutions-the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). Join us in building on recent successes in fundraising and elevating our national and global profile.
As Director of Development and Communications, you will play a crucial role in advancing our mission by driving income growth, cultivating key donor relationships, and elevating the organisation’s visibility. This is an ideal role for a motivated, strategic leader who excels in combining fundraising expertise, innovative marketing, and impactful communications. You will be instrumental in enabling us to continue delivering our world-leading work in biodiversity research and conservation, horticulture, education, and public engagement, while also identifying and delivering new income opportunities.
This is a unique chance to join a forward-thinking, mission-driven organisation and help us continue to address the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. If you’re ready to lead and inspire we’d love to hear from you!
Although we see this as a full-time role, applications will also be considered from candidates looking to work on a part-time basis.
