Director of Transformation

Friends of the Earth Scotland campaigns for environmental justice, building collective power with communities and movements to create a fairer, greener Scotland. We are a part of the Friends of the Earth International network. As an organisation, we have been responding to how we can meet this moment to achieve climate justice in Scotland and beyond. Our current strategy returns us to our roots in community-based movement building, and we want how we work to match what we are trying to achieve.

As part of this shift, the Board of Trustees has started a governance reset to support the aims and ambitions of the strategy, and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) has been piloting a co-leadership model over the last year. Next year, the organisation will undertake a strategy refresh, and we are open to reflecting how we operate to achieve our strategic aims.

We are now recruiting two people for the role of Director of Transformation to work as co-leads on our SLT to develop the systems, skills, internal capacities and accountability frameworks that our new strategy requires. Outward-facing leadership, including press liaison, leading on strategic decision-making and campaign oversight, will stay with our current leads. We’re looking for a pair who bring complementary skills, experience and knowledge in areas such as organisational change, HR and accountability frameworks, co-leadership, community and/or labour organising and financial oversight.
