Benefits: Pension scheme (7%), Life Assurance scheme, 26 days' annual leave (plus bank holidays)

What must be one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs in Nature Conservation in the UK is about to become vacant. Nature is in crisis, and we have a climate emergency. As Operational Director of the RSPB's delivery programme in North Scotland, you will be uniquely placed to make a positive contribution to these twin crises. Do you have the exceptional leadership skills to take action for nature and lead our brilliant operational teams in North Scotland?

What's the role about?

As part of the Scotland Leadership Team, the North Scotland Operations Director leads the RSPB’s place-based delivery, primarily across our nature reserves and within the RSPB’s Priority Landscapes where we are working to influence and support others to restore nature and inspire communities within some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes.

This is a role for an exceptional director, with a team of approximately 150 staff and 500 volunteers, significant budget (£5M+), land based commercial operations, major project and risk accountability, and responsibility for restoring some of Scotland’s most threatened species & habitats.

The role covers four large Operational Areas which comprise the RSPB’s North Scotland Region, including the organisation's two largest nature reserves. The Operations Director line manages 4 Area Managers in the following operational areas:

1. Shetland & Northeast Scotland;
2. Orkney;
3. North Highland and Outer Hebrides, and
4. South Highland.

Other line reports are the Senior Programme Manager for the Scotland Peatland Programme, and the Inverness Office Manager.

Alongside the Operational Director role, the post holder also has overall responsibility for some of the RSPB’s largest and most high-profile projects and programmes, including the Orkney Native Wildlife project, the Scotland Peatland Programme, and Cairngorms Connect.

We’re looking for a talented director with experience of managing a diverse and dispersed operational portfolio. You’ll be someone who can build strong collaborations (both internally & externally), and you’ll be comfortable representing the RSPB to a range of audiences, from community groups to public agency executives and leaders alongside politicians and Government Ministers.

You should be confident to make decisions and be able to balance risk and opportunity. An understanding of - and an ability to operate within - governance, finance and risk frameworks is also a key part of the role. A background in nature conservation isn’t necessary, but you’ll be passionate about our mission and joining the movement to end the nature & climate emergency.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

• Educated to degree level or relevant high-level experience to effectively communicate complex messages and use management information to undertake responsibilities.
• Knowledge of the RSPB and its mission
• Visible, inspiring and effective leadership of own Operational Team, engaging and motivating staff and volunteers at all levels (reserves, sites, project, specialist and area teams)
• Proven leadership and people management skills, able to develop team members for high performance and build a positive culture across geographically dispersed teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to present, influence and represent the organisation
• Collaboration skills to build relationships, navigate politics and manage conflicts
• Business management skills to understand strategy, business functions and decision-making
• Financial acumen to manage budgets, forecasting, understand financial statements and understand and use business metrics
• Proven ability to influence others, build partnerships and negotiate at a senior level

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience:

• Team management and development of geographically dispersed teams
• Knowledge of the geography, socio-economic, organisational landscape and political context of the Highlands & Islands of Scotland
• Experience of land management/nature reserve management
