In this hybrid working role, you will have the opportunity to play a key part in supporting and influencing athletics in Scotland for all its current and future stakeholders.

About Us

As the National Governing Body for Athletics in Scotland, our aim is to build an integrated and transparent ecosystem that supports our constituent members, as well as continuing to develop the sport of athletics in Scotland as a whole, from grassroots, introductory level through to international level, and sets the context for future strategic decisions and identification of key programmes and projects.

Our strategy ‘Building a Culture of Success’ is not just about performances on the world stage, but is about the whole sport pulling together in the same direction and recognising the importance of all parts and individuals within the system.

That includes clubs, coaches, officials, athletes, event organisers, partners, supporters as well as scottishathletics as an organisation.

To ensure the popularity of athletics in Scotland, we need to operate in a way that reflects our values and recognises the role we play in Scottish society. We will continue to develop these values to ensure that equality, diversity and inclusivity remain at the heart of our activities.

Having an in-depth understanding of accounting principles and processes, you will have the ability to work on your own initiative to complete tasks.

Showing demonstrable knowledge and experience of Sage 50 Accounts and Microsoft Office products, particularly Excel, you will be conscientious with attention to detail in all areas.

You will be a proactive thinker and problem solver with a natural desire to improve, both personally and professionally. We are seeking a team player with a willingness to work closely with others through strong verbal and written communication skills.
