RYA Scotland Mission

“RYA Scotland will inspire, nurture and support people, places and communities to develop themselves, positively influence others, celebrate successes and share a lifelong enjoyment of boating in Scotland.”

About You

You will have a creative approach to your work and a talent for spotting opportunities others might miss.
You are confident sharing compelling stories that connect with partners and bring to life the benefits of sailing and boating.

You can build trusted relationships with ease - whether that’s with businesses, funders, individuals or community organisations.

You bring a track record of developing successful partnerships or sponsorships, ideally in sport, community, or membership settings.

You thrive in an environment where your ideas and initiative can create tangible impact.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences who can bring new ways of thinking into the organisation.

About the Role

This is a flexible, part-time opportunity to help shape the future of sailing and boating in Scotland to drive positive impact in our community. You’ll work closely with colleagues across RYA Scotland and the wider RYA:

  • Grow our profile and value proposition among businesses, donors and supporters.
  • Develop and deliver partnership packages that reflect our values—youth engagement, sustainability, inclusion.
  • Promote our sport’s positive impact on health, community, and the marine environment.
