Our education work includes a range of employability and engagement programmes while our new entrant initiatives include film literacy, masterclasses, apprenticeships, networking and low cost film making facilities. For professionals we offer bespoke talent development programmes and production support.
GMAC is looking for a new CEO to lead the strategic direction of the company and build on the successful development of the last three years. We need someone who will be an inspiring and supportive leader to the organisation’s growing team of 12 staff. You should have excellent relationship management skills to lead the team and the projects into the next phase of expansion and help secure the necessary additional funding. You will support the team to develop the current programmes, increasing and widening our reach and enhancing opportunities to contribute to a genuine increase in the equality, diversity and inclusivity of the screen and creative sectors in Scotland. You will advocate for the organisation and social change, within a number of different contexts and networks. If you are a creative thinker with a collaborative approach to team building, we'd love to hear from you.
We also encourage and would welcome alternative working models such as job share, flexible working, condensed hours, or hybrid-working to accommodate a range of personal circumstances, and to ensure equality of opportunity for all. We are currently trialling a 4 day (30 hour) working week.
In recognising the wider scope of the role, we welcome applications from all areas of the creative sector. Experience within the third, arts and cultural sectors would bring great value to the team.
