Overview
Help write women back into Scotland’s history—and our future! We’re hiring a Business Development Lead to turn our momentum into sustainable growth. You’ll grow our income streams & fuel social impact.
At Protests and Suffragettes CIC, we’re building a Scotland where the stories of suffragettes and women changemakers aren’t hidden footnotes but vibrant, public, and everywhere — in schools, communities, murals, and on the open web. Over the next three years, we’re scaling workshops, murals, creative commissions, & a national community that will reshape how women’s history is remembered, celebrated, and taught — ramping toward the 2028 Centenary of the Equal Franchise Act (which gave all women in the UK the right to vote).
We’re hiring a Business Development Lead to turn our momentum into sustainable growth. If you’re a creative doer who loves turning relationships into revenue and purpose into partnerships, come build this with us!
