Marketing and Communications Manager

Thank you for your interest in the role of Marketing and Communications Manager at Collective. 

As Marketing and Communications Manager, you will join us at an exciting time, having recently secured a new multi-year funding agreement with Creative Scotland, and as we launch a new programme for emerging artists. 

Part of the senior team at Collective, you will work to engage wider audiences with our core mission, and to raise the profile of Collective across the city and beyond. 

You will work closely with our Director to shape and develop integrated and compelling messaging which communicates our unique offering: our emerging artist programme, artist commissions, and community engagement within our programming; our venue hires, coffee kiosk, shop and holiday rental within trading; and our site itself, a unique venue situated on a major Edinburgh tourist destination. 

Leading the strategic development and practical delivery of our marketing and communications strategy, you will ensure that our programmes of work reach key audiences, locally, nationally and internationally. You will also lead the development of a new website for Collective, and embed a newly created brand identity across touchpoints.

You will lead work across digital, social media, print and advertising, to grow engagement with Collective’s unique offering, and build our reputation and profile as a platform for artists and a meeting place for ideas, working alongside, and managing our Communications Coordinator.
