Our vision is to create a more successful country, increase wellbeing and provide opportunities to all people living in Scotland. As an organisation we embody the values of In the Service of Scotland in that we act with integrity, are inclusive, collaborative, innovative and kind.

We are currently scaling the maturity of our content operations. You will be a part of the central Scottish Government content operations team, which will help determine the future of how, when, and where the government will publish the content, our users need.

As Lead Content Designer, you will play a significant part in making this vision a reality by managing your team of content designers.

Excellent content helps users to use our products to understand complex information and complete particular tasks. Your work will either enhance how the public sector supports end users or directly assist those end users in meeting their needs, depending on the context for the particular content you will support.

and other web content (static or dynamic).

There are 3 main workstreams that you will be involved in:

- Digital operational guidance for public sector bodies
- Service access and rights information for the people and businesses of Scotland
- Strategic development of the future content operations of Scottish Government and other public sector bodies
