Communications Executive

**Edinburgh City of Literature**

**ABOUT THE JOB**

**Salary**: £28,000 p/a +8% pension contributions

**Location**: Top Floor Office, John Knox House, 45 High Street, Edinburgh

**Hours**: 35hrs/week, worked within 9am-6pm; a degree of hybrid working possible. Occasional out of hours working may be required; time off in lieu (TOIL) can be agreed with the Director.

**Holidays**: 22 p/a + all statutory days applicable.

**Probation**: This role has a three-month probationary period.

**EDINBURGH CITY OF LITERATURE**

In 2004 Edinburgh was designated the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature, a permanent title celebrating Edinburgh’s status as a literary capital. The designation marked the beginning of the global UNESCO Creative Cities network, which now has 42 Cities of Literature, and a wider network of 295 cities in seven creative artforms.

The Edinburgh City of Literature Trust (ECOL) is the development agency for Edinburgh as a

UNESCO City of Literature, bringing literature to the streets of Edinburgh, connecting people with Edinburgh’s literary story, and sharing that story with the world. The Trust’s current flagship project is the development of a Literature House for Edinburgh, which will create a year-round home for Edinburgh’s literary story and a platform for new work and collaborations.

**THE ROLE**

This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a small team and contribute to the development of a successful arts organisation embarking on a period of growth. It is a creative, cheerful and flexible working environment, and the team are dedicated, energetic and passionate about their work.

The Communications Executive will be joining Edinburgh City of Literature Trust at a critical time, overseeing an expansion of communications work, as well as working on the Literature

House and our local and international partnership projects. The organisation is undergoing a development of its communications work, including a branding and press kit refresh, creation of a new website, and developing communications with key audiences. The role will therefore require some strategic thinking, and previous experience of this kind of activity would be beneficial. Day to day the role will include project management of international opportunities and comms, creating and managing social media and newsletter content, and updating the website with opportunities and resources. Although part of a small, close-knit team, the role will require a large amount of independent work and self-management.

Working at ECOL offers an interesting and dynamic way to engage with the literary sector on a local, national and international level, with the opportunity to work on international projects and support Edinburgh’s vibrant literary sector.

**Key Duties and Responsibilities**
- Leading on the strategic development of communications work to meet organisational aims, including implementing new branding, design of a new website and developing communications with key audiences.

- Supporting international campaigns and communication strands with an understanding of the UNESCO Creative Cities network.
- Assisting with reporting and evaluations, including maintaining vital project data.
- Representing ECOL at meetings of project partners, stakeholders and other groups, and feeding back crucial information.
- Managing internal communications, including minuting meetings, compiling Board updates etc.
- Providing communication support for ongoing and new projects.
- Working alongside freelancers, creatives and ECOL’s fundraiser and Literature House
