Setting the Scene…

The revival of the Rosebank Distillery, located in the heart of Falkirk, is well and truly underway and we’re very proud of the results.

Once revered by whisky connoisseurs the world over as the ‘King of the Lowlands’, we (Ian Macleod Distillers) were thrilled to acquire the Rosebank site and brand back in 2017, following its previous closure in 1993. Promising to breathe new life into the Distillery and honour it’s unique production technique, we have put significant investment into reviving the Distillery to its former glory.

In the summer of 2023, we were delighted that our Production team were able to gain access to the Distillery, and for the first time in 30 years’, the stills were fired up and we were producing Rosebank again – a very special moment for us indeed!

With the final construction work and the finishing touches in our Brand Home (visitor attraction) now nearing completion, we have our sights set on our next major milestone… opening the doors and welcoming visitors into this iconic Distillery from Summer 2024 – a very exciting time for both us and the local community in Falkirk!

Our opportunity…

At the heart of our brand, product and experience are our people – it’s our people who make all of the magic happen and so, as a brand new visitor attraction, we are undertaking our final preparations to welcome visitors from all over the world. A critical element to our success here will be ensuring we have the right team in place, leading the way and delivering exceptional visitor experiences.

With that in mind, we are delighted to now formally welcome interest in our 3 x Brand Homes Duty Manager opportunities. These are brand new roles which will report into our Distillery Experience Manager and form part of our core on-site management team on a permanent basis.

Role Purpose…

These roles will be responsible for leading a team of Distillery Ambassadors (c. 10 direct reports to each Duty Manager) in the delivery of tours, tastings, events, trade visits and all visit related activity to a high standard. This is a unique and exciting opportunity as the successful candidates will play a pivotal role in establishing a brand new team and developing the culture which will make this a great place to work. If you are a strong people manager and are looking for a new challenge, with a true passion and dedication to providing exceptional visitor experience in a warm and friendly environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you…
