Our mission is to advocate for transport policy and investment in Scotland through effective media relations and digital outreach. We safeguard the reputation of our leadership and the agency by providing timely responses to media inquiries.

  • Media Evaluation: Integrate evaluation opportunities into communication plans from the outset, producing insightful reports that foster continuous improvement.
  • Content Development: Collaborate with digital teams to create audio-visual content from media events and assist in the design and editing processes.
  • Stakeholder Interaction: Represent Transport Scotland communications at external meetings, senior forums, and emergency exercises, contributing to the success of major national events.

Essential Skills

  1. Proven ability to build relationships with diverse stakeholders, including senior leaders and journalists.
  2. Understanding of the evolving landscape of news content creation and consumption, with the capability to produce engaging content across multiple channels.
  3. Ability to work efficiently under pressure, responding promptly and professionally to emerging opportunities or challenges.
  4. Experience in a dynamic communications team, contributing ideas and maintaining resilience during high-pressure situations, including managing media interactions and facilitating interviews.

  • Flexible working arrangements
  • A culture that promotes inclusion and diversity
