The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) is one of the world’s top 10 performing arts institutions, consistently recognised in the QS World University Rankings for Performing Arts. We are a vibrant, international community of artists and educators, training the next generation of performers, producers, teachers and creative leaders across music, drama, dance, production, film and education.

We are now seeking a visionary and forward-thinking Director of Estates and Digital Infrastructure to join our senior leadership team at a pivotal moment in our development.

This new role reflects both the ambition and complexity of the Conservatoire’s future. Reporting to the Principal, you will lead the strategic development, management and operation of the Conservatoire’s estate and digital infrastructure - ensuring that our physical and virtual environments fully support our strategic goals.
You will provide leadership across estates management, capital projects, IT infrastructure, sustainability and facilities services.

Working with colleagues across the Conservatoire Senior Management Team (CSMT), you will shape long-term plans for investment, renewal and innovation, ensuring that RCS continues to provide an inspiring, efficient and sustainable environment for students and staff.

We are seeking an accomplished leader with significant experience in estates management and capital development, ideally gained in a complex public or educational environment. You will bring an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset, capable of leading transformation and embedding sustainability and digital connectivity into every aspect of our operations.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a world-class Conservatoire as we look to the future - combining heritage and ambition to create an environment that enables creativity to flourish.
