A pathway for inclusive employers to attract ethnically diverse candidates

This is a fantastic opportunity to join Scotland’s national economic development agency, Scottish Enterprise (SE). At Scottish Enterprise we are committed to growing the Scottish economy for the benefit of all, creating more quality jobs and a brighter future in every region.

The Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service (SMAS) is delivered by SE and also covers Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise areas.

We’re looking for an innovative manufacturing specialist who’s passionate about delivering a productive, sustainable, inclusive, and fair economy. You’ll be on the frontline helping manufacturing businesses stay competitive in a changing landscape. This means working with them to adopt new technologies and improve supply chains and internal processes.

SMAS works with firms to support investment in productivity, performance and people to deliver sustainable change. We work with our SE colleagues to support leadership ambition, develop market development strategies and identify global opportunities.

This is an opportunity for you to grow professionally, working with colleagues at Scottish Enterprise (SE) to develop more effective economic development policies for Scotland. A chance to sharpen your appraisal and evaluation skills while maximising the economic impact of a range of projects, and eventually delivering your own.

​The Appraisal and Evaluation Team has two main purposes: to estimate the economic impacts of future Scottish Enterprise projects, and to deliver and manage evaluations once projects have been completed.

The researcher role works across these activities alongside other Scottish Enterprise team members, responding to requests for support from both internal and external contacts.​

As a Project Manager in the Innovation & Place team, you’ll help drive delivery and make a difference to companies, partners and places across Scotland. This could be at any one of the property assets in our diverse portfolio, such as BioQuarter (Edinburgh), Eurocentral (Lanarkshire), Loch Lomond Shores (West Dunbartonshire) or elsewhere. We’ll also look to you to help us add more strategic sites for transformational economic development.

Join us as a Team Leader in our Innovation and Place team, and you’ll help drive delivery of placed-based innovation programmes that will transform the Scottish economy into the leading innovation nation in the UK.

You’ll have a wide remit – from developing infrastructure investment proposals which support innovation, to helping with site acquisitions, property disposals, and asset and property management. You’ll work with colleagues, partners and the private sector to create high-quality sites and premises for key growth sectors in Scotland.

You’ll also lead your team, driving place-based solutions for property and land development, as well as the infrastructure supporting innovation districts and the necessary ecosystems for projects to be delivered economically. This key role needs a skilful blend of initiative and proactivity, as you take ownership of projects to deliver results.
