In parallel with our work on Nature Finance, we anticipate that a key role of the Wild Salmon Conservation Manager will be to support Fisheries Management Scotland members in developing high quality applications to the resulting fund(s) to support work to restore the aquatic environment for the benefit of wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout. This will include projects and actions identified in Fisheries Management Plans which are due to completion in March 2024.

  • Proven planning and organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise competing demands and a track record of successful delivery;
  • A strong understanding of policy development and advocacy;
  • Excellent negotiating skills;
  • Excellent written and oral presentation skills;
  • Proven project management skills;
  • Proven data and analytical skills;
  • Highly developed communication and collaborative skills and experience in building relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders;
  • Knowledge of a wide range of stakeholders, across public, private, charitable and academic sectors
  • Well-developed IT skills, including use of standard software packages (MS SharePoint, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Adobe Acrobat).
  • Willingness to travel across Scotland;
  • Access to a motor vehicle and a full driving licence;
  • A good understanding of the fisheries management sector in Scotland, would be an advantage.
