Cricket Scotland have an exciting opportunity for a Cricket Operations and Player Support Manager
, to join our team.

As the national governing body for cricket in Scotland, we deliver the game from grassroots to international level and our national teams compete on the global stage. We are looking for an organised and proactive individual to provide high-quality operational and player support across our High Performance and Pathway programmes, ensuring that players and coaches are set up for success during domestic and international activity.

Who are we? Cricket Scotland is the national governing body for the sport of cricket in Scotland. We are responsible for organising and developing the game at every level – from grassroots participation to elite international competition. Our primary goal is to promote and enhance the growth of cricket in Scotland, both in terms of player development and the overall popularity of the sport.

Our four‑year strategy, Uniting People and Communities through Cricket (2024–2028), is underpinned by our values and sets out a clear vision for the future of the game.

Cricket has a long history in Scotland, with records dating back to the 18th century, and Scotland became an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1994.

The Scotland men’s and women’s national teams regularly compete in international tournaments, achieving notable successes with memorable victories against higher‑ranked teams and strong performances in global competitions. These achievements have raised the profile of cricket in Scotland and inspired more young people to take up the sport. Success at senior level has been matched by the men’s and women’s U19 teams, who have consistently qualified for ICC World Cups.

Alongside international success, Cricket Scotland is committed to developing cricket at grassroots level. We support and organise leagues, tournaments and coaching programmes across the country to grow participation, identify talent, and provide the training and resources needed for players to progress in the game.

This is a key role at a pivotal time for Cricket Scotland. With qualification for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the 2028 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup central to our strategy to deliver sustainable success on the pitch, high‑quality operational delivery and player support are essential to enabling performance on the international stage.

The postholder will play a vital part in ensuring that players and coaches are supported through well‑planned logistics, clear communication and a consistently professional environment across all domestic and international activity.

This is an exciting time for Cricket Scotland to move forward as an organisation to deliver our vision to unite people and communities through cricket. Looking ahead, Scotland will co‑host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2030 alongside England and Ireland.

The Cricket Operations and Player Support Manager plays a central role in coordinating the High Performance and Pathway programmes and ensuring that Scotland’s international and pathway players receive a professional, consistent and high‑quality operational service.

The post holder will anticipate logistical needs and create an environment where players can fully focus on preparation and performance. As a key point of contact for players and coaches, the postholder ensures operational excellence across fixtures, tours, events and daily programme delivery, recognising players as primary customers within the performance system.

Success in this role will be demonstrated through:

• Reliable, organised and anticipatory operational delivery across all performance and pathway activity.
• Positive player and coach feedback regarding clarity, communication and quality of support.
• Well‑planned, well‑executed tours and events with minimal operational disruption.
• Smooth onboarding and effective support mechanisms for players entering the performance…
