A dedicated project team is being established to drive the development and delivery of a transformative social impact strategy that leverages cycling to improve lives across Scotland.

We are seeking a dynamic, talented, and passionate Communications Coordinator to support the digital communications and storytelling that bring the Tour de France Grand Départ social impact strategy to life; inspiring participation, supporting programme delivery, strengthening partnerships, and evidencing impact before, during and after the 2027 Grand Départ.
