Overview:

The Scottish Government is supporting an exciting programme of major events over the coming years, building on the 2026 Commonwealth Games to include the 2027 Tour de France Grand Depart, the FIA World Rally Championships, UEFA EURO 2028 and Scotland’s portfolio of world class golf championships. These events are important drivers of Scottish Government outcomes, helping to promote inclusive economic growth, and showcase Scotland internationally and create social benefits.

Project Officers within the Division are responsible for supporting the planning and coordination of Scottish Government support for these events to ensure they are delivered safely, securely and successfully and we achieve strong value for money for our investment. Many of our events are being hosted alongside other nations so there is a strong element of inter-governmental relations to our work, requiring the development and maintenance of effective stakeholder relationships.

This role may be deployed across any of our major event projects. It will predominantly support the respective Project Manager / Team Leader to enable the delivery of the project. It is a broad role and will include leading on and coordinating elements of the six aspects of a project (scope,schedule,finance, risk,qualityandresources). The role will also include grant management and supporting policy development and then assuring delivery of this.

The delivery of major events is complex and timebound. No one organisation is in overall control of delivery so the postholder will need to be adept in working in partnership with a wide range of partners to achieve their objectives. It is essential that they are comfortable working in complex stakeholder environments and delivering a range of tasks to tight deadlines.
