The post holder will also be required to manage research agencies, work with Marketing and Brand Scotland teams and agency planning departments and share strategic thinking and creative ideas with senior policy colleagues, stakeholders and ministers in relation to effective approaches to campaigns.
Effective presentation skills are also a key part of the role, assembling clear and concise presentation materials and presenting them to an audience with adaptability to convey information and data meaningfully to non-expert audiences.
