Recruiting - National Centre for Music, Director of Partnerships
5 August 2025
Our friends at the National Centre for Music are recruiting for a major role - their first Director of Partnerships.
(NCM) is the new organisation that will operate the iconic old Royal High School at the foot of Edinburgh’s Calton Hill when RHSPT's redevelopment is complete. Offering new mid-scale performance and rehearsal spaces, practice rooms, a recording studio, office space, events and conferencing facilities, a cafe and bar, and two acres of flower-filled gardens, the centre will become an iconic destination and a place where Scotland’s musical history is made.
The job is a pivotal position in NCM's development:
"NCM is seeking a Director of Partnerships to help us shape the frameworks and relationships that will go on to define how we work, who we engage with and who we inspire. This senior role will work across our performance, participation, engagement and commercial activities, and will be fundamental in establishing effective partnership models which enable NCM to flourish, strategically and creatively.
As the second role within the organisation, joining our Chief Executive & Creative Director, you will become part of the founding story of a new major player in Scotland’s music scene."
So if you are experienced in building effective partnerships and are inspired by the idea of working with partners from across the country (of all scales and genres!) to make Scotland's musical landscape even stronger, for more information, download the Recruitment Pack below.
The closing date is 12 noon on Friday 12 September and contact details for a pre-application chat are included in the pack.
