You want your work to mean something - not just to your CV, but to the place you call home. And you're ready to lead a team, own a function, and make a genuine mark on an organisation that's doing something that actually matters.

Who is ETZ
Energy Transition Zone Ltd (ETZ) exists to accelerate the northeast of Scotland's journey to a clean energy future - attracting investment, creating jobs, and positioning Aberdeen as a global hub for the energy transition. We're a tight-knit, purpose-driven team with accessible leadership, a genuine investment in our people, and a shared belief that the work we do has real, lasting impact on the region we're proud to call home.
The Role
This is the senior marketing role within ETZ - reporting to the CEO and leading a team of two. You'll own the marketing function: strategy, planning, delivery, and budget. You'll set the direction, manage the workload, and be the person the organisation turns to when it needs to communicate with confidence. Crucially, you'll be the manager who invests time in team members’ development, stretches their capabilities, and brings out the best in them. Line management experience is a prerequisite.
ETZ has a busy events and conference calendar ahead, and this role sits right at the centre of it. You'll plan, coordinate, and deliver ETZ's event presence end-to-end, from logistics and stakeholder liaison to managing our exhibition space and representing the organisation in the room. Alongside that, you'll be producing the content that keeps ETZ visible and credible across LinkedIn, newsletters, partner communications, industry media and more.
ETZ's model is built on partnership. You'll be working with external partners, funders, and stakeholders - building relationships that support the organisation's mission and project delivery. An understanding of Aberdeen's landscape, its stakeholders, and its communities will help you hit the ground running.
About you and what you’ll need
Proven people leadership
You've managed people before and you're good at it. You know how to give direction, create accountability, and invest in someone's development.
Marketing ownership
You've built and delivered marketing plans - not just contributed to them. You're comfortable owning the full cycle from strategy to execution, and you manage budgets and resources without needing to be chased.
A writer's instinct
You can draft a LinkedIn post, an internal newsletter, and a stakeholder briefing - and they'll all sound like they came from the same confident, credible voice.
Knowing the tools
You will need to have a sound knowledge or understanding of some of the following marketing tools: Canva, Campaign Monitor, Craft CMS, Veed, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Lightroom. You don’t need to have every element, as training will be given.
A proactive mindset
You don't wait to be told what needs doing. You spot the gap, pick up the task, and get on with it - even if it's not strictly in your job description. You're a team player in the truest sense.
A feel for the Northeast
You don't need to be an energy expert, but an understanding of Aberdeen, the northeast of Scotland, and the landscape in which ETZ operates will make a real difference to how quickly you can contribute.
