Digital Communication Coordinator in Paisley

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.

We are now looking for a Digital Communications Coordinator to bring our work to life through compelling digital storytelling. Reporting to the Digital Marketing Manager, you will play a key role in creating engaging, high-quality content across BE-ST's digital channels ensuring our voice, brand and impact are clear, consistent and inspiring.

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 will 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 will 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.
