Director – Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society

Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society – Director – Glasgow

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society is an independent, non-profit making charity, established in 1973 to promote and encourage appreciation of the Scottish architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his contemporaries. The Society has over 700 members across the world with affiliate groups arranging local events and an associate group in Port Vendres, France. The Headquarters is the Category A listed Queen’s Cross Church designed by CRM and is a tourist attraction and event venue.

The present Director retires in February 2026, and the Trustees wish to appoint a successor. This is a full-time role.

The Director is responsible for leading and developing the Society in addition to the operation and care of Mackintosh Queen’s Cross. The post-holder will provide leadership, co-ordination and motivation across all activities to develop and deliver the strategic plans and events agreed by the Society’s Trustees.

An informed and enthusiastic interest in Mackintosh and his circle is highly desirable, but of central importance are evidence of leadership, management, advocacy, financial experience, fundraising and communication skills, together with an understanding of the heritage and charitable sectors.

Voluntary Chair and Financial Director

Introduction:

Braemar Castle Limited is seeking a new Chair and Financial Director to help bring new thinking, views and experience into the organisation.

We are at an exciting point having recently reopened the Castle after a £1.6m project that has conserved the fabric of the building, created improved visitor facilities, and enabled improvements to the Castle grounds. With ambitious plans ahead to attract visitors, reach out to community groups and open the Castle up for new uses, it is vital that we have a good range of skills, experiences and voices on the Board to help us realise our ambitions for this important historic asset.

See more background on Braemar Castle and our plans here www.braemarcastle.co.uk

We are particularly interested in receiving applications from people with the following skills and experience:

o Financial management o Business development/Chair

Appreciation of the important role of the Castle within the community is vital as we’re looking for people to support our ambitions for the Castle playing a full role at the heart of our community and local economy. We need people who are able to bring energy and commitment, take a proactive part in our board discussions, engage in healthy debate, respect others’ viewpoints and then gather around to support a consensus view. Experience or interest in heritage and/or community group working would be appreciated.

If you think you’ve got the skills, experience and personal qualities to support us on our exciting journey, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Currently, and most pressing, we’d like to hear from you if you’d like to join as a Financial Director, working with our current long-serving Financial Director, who will step down in March 2026.
