Screen Scotland was launched in August 2018 as the new dedicated partnership for Scotland’s screen industries, delivering enhanced support for all aspects of the sector.

Isabel Davis, executive director, Screen Scotland, said: “The newly-enhanced investment for Scotland’s screen industry doubles our overall spend on screen to £20million and our plans for increased world class film and TV studio facilities make this a very exciting time for Scotland.

“I’m seeking to build our capabilities and the director of Screen is a critical leadership role to support on matters relating to film and television work across development, production, distribution, exhibition, audience development, skills and talent development and screen commission activities.

“You’ll be instrumental in furthering the development and successful growth of the sector nationally and internationally.  You’ll have extensive experience in policy and external affairs and as a natural relationship builder, you’ll be able to manage effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders across government, private and voluntary sectors.
