Digital Communications Co-ordinator in Milton

BE-ST (Built Environment Smarter Transformation) is a unique, agile and forward-thinking organisation with a clear mission: to tackle climate change by decarbonising the built environment. Our work spans innovation, commercial projects and partnerships across Scotland and internationally, and every story we tell helps accelerate the journey to net zero.

The Digital Communications Coordinator plays a key role in delivering engaging digital content that supports BE-ST's mission to accelerate the transition to a net zero built environment. Working closely with the Digital Marketing Manager and wider stakeholder engagement team, you'll create and deliver content across social media, websites, newsletters, campaigns and digital media that brings BE-ST's projects, facilities and partnerships to life.

This is a varied and hands-on role, offering the opportunity to work across a wide range of digital activity from storytelling and case studies to campaigns, events and more commercially focused content. You'll collaborate closely with colleagues across the organisation to source stories, shape messaging and ensure content is clear, creative and aligned to BE-ST's tone of voice and brand.

While the role covers a broad range of responsibilities, these are delivered as part of a planned programme of work, meaning priorities shift depending on projects and activity. No two days or projects are the same, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, creativity and working with purpose.
