JOB PURPOSE
This is a fixed term role developing and delivering engaging digital products to support the aims of our NHLF funded Mackintosh Illuminated Project. The project will run from 2025 – 2029.

The Trust is the custodian of two of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald’s most outstanding, publicly accessible places: The Hill House and Mackintosh at the Willow. Together, these sites welcome 280,000 visitors annually, promoting the cultural legacy of Mackintosh and engaging visitors with the life and works of two of Scotland’s most influential artists’. The Mackintosh Illuminated Project will bring together these two properties in a joint engagement, communications and marketing and outreach programme to spotlight the design duo, sharing, celebrating and inspiring as many as possible with their creative genius and the beauty of their creations and create the foundation for a reappraisal of how Mackintosh and Macdonald are perceived and appreciated locally and internationally.
The post-holder will lead the development of digital products to support the engagement with Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald themes online as part of the Trust’s brand, marketing, communications, interpretation and audience strategies. The postholder will collaborate with stakeholders across Trust, supporting both the project’s priorities and national organisational objectives.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
