Summary
Do you have a proven track record in providing commercial and technical advice on capital investments?
If so, the Scottish Government are seeking a Commercial and Technical Lead for Capital Investment Policy to support work to increase private investment in Scotland.
The Programme for Government includes a commitment to deliver a co-ordinated programme to attract investment in priority areas of net zero, housing, and infrastructure by implementing recommendations from the Investor Panel and aligning government and public bodies behind this approach. An early focus will be improving engagement with investors, strengthening our capacity and capability in delivery, and exploring new funding mechanisms such as blended finance and guarantees. This role will contribute to the Scottish Government's three missions, specifically the mission of building a fair and green economy by attracting greater levels of global capital investment to Scotland, including Net Zero investment.
In this specialist technical and commercial role, you will influence and support this programme by providing advice to teams across government in support of policy development that impacts on investment, working with a range of public bodies to support delivery ambitions, and supporting a coordinated programme of work to increase private sector investment in Scotland. You will also support delivery of the commitment to development of a national project pipeline of investment opportunities of scale and impact and an online investment portal.
If you have a proven track record in investment or financing transformational, major projects then you could support growing Scotland's economy as detailed in our Programme for Government 2024-25, where increasing private sector capital is recognised as a key enabler to achieving our ambitions.
