Content & Editorial Executive in Auchterarder

We are currently seeking a Content & Editorial Executive, a creative with a keen eye for detail and a love of writing, to join our Brand & Marketing Team. At Gleneagles, we’re preparing to launch a new and thoughtfully curated digital extension of our Retail Arcade, and we are looking for a Content & Editorial Executive to bring it to life and to market it across our creative channels. This is a unique opportunity to shape and define a brand-new Instagram presence from the ground up. Designed to celebrate the individuality of each of our physical boutiques while anchoring them within the unmistakable elegance of Gleneagles style, this channel will offer a refined, editorial lens into our retail world. We’re seeking someone with a natural eye for style and storytelling: someone who understands the nuances of luxury, fashion and visual identity, and who can translate that into compelling, considered content in a variety of formats. While half of your time will be spent across the retail output, the other half of this role will also involve supporting the wider team across more general content and editorial outputs.

One of the world’s most iconic luxury hotels and sporting estates, Gleneagles has been making memories for a century. Crowned ‘Employer of the Year’ at the 2024 Cateys and Number One Resort in the UK & Ireland by readers of the Travel + Leisure for their 2025 World’s Best Awards, everything we do is about surpassing expectations and creating unrivalled adventures for our guests.

We’re devoted to making our people feel as valued as our guests. In this way, we strive to support the whole ‘you’ – not just the professional part but the personal part too. People join our team for all sorts of reasons. Some work here permanently to develop a career, some work seasonally, while others have a schedule to fit around their personal commitments. However long you plan to stay with us and whatever hours you’d prefer to work, we’re open to flexible working requests and offer hours, shift patterns and contract types to suit everyone. Location: Auchterarder, just off the A9. Gleneagles is also within easy reach of a number of Scottish towns and cities: Edinburgh City Centre (1hr), Glasgow or Dundee (50mins), Stirling and Perth (25mins).
