About the Role

In 2027, Scotland will host the prestigious Tour de France Grand Départ, a momentous event with the potential to create lasting social change.

Scottish Cycling are seeking a talented, experienced, and passionate Social Impact Project Lead to drive the development and delivery of a transformative social impact strategy that leverages cycling to improve lives across Scotland. This role will work closely with internal teams and key event partners to maximise a coordinated and impactful approach.

There are three overarching social impact outcomes that all UK wide event partners are collectively looking to contribute to before, during and after the Grand Départ. These are health improvement, economic growth and thriving communities.

Some potential examples of these projects are a girls cycling participation programme, school engagement, employability, and arts & cultural initiatives.
