Setting the Scene

Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd… ‘An international, entrepreneurial, brand-led, successful, sustainable, and respected, family business’

We are Ian Macleod Distillers (IMD), a fourth generation family owned and managed whisky and spirits business operating across the UK and internationally. We are producers of multi award winning premium whisky and gin with many other whiskies and spirits as part of our portfolio. Crafting Spirits With Passion, is what we do best… not only are we producers of exquisite brands, but we are also distributors and suppliers in B2B and B2C channels. We are a brand led, successful family business with our spirits (people and brands), at our very core. Driven by passion, enthusiasm and solid business values, we are now expanding our B2C offering and continuing to invest in each of our brand homes as our brands continue to evolve and grow.

Our Brand Homes portfolio includes Glengoyne Distillery, a well-established destination rated on TripAdvisor as one of Scotland’s top-rated tourist attractions; and Rosebank Distillery and Edinburgh Gin Distillery which both opened to visitors in 2024. Our teams deliver some of the finest distillery tours and tastings in the country, providing engaging, world-class visitor experiences.

—————————————
Our Opportunity

We currently have a fantastic opportunity for a Brand Homes Marketing Executive (Whisky) to join us, providing support across our prestigious Glengoyne and Rosebank Distilleries.

Reporting to the Brand Homes Head of Sales and Marketing (Whisky), this role will help to deliver business sales targets and to engage our internal and external target audiences with key messages.

—————————————
Who We Are Looking For

Working as part of a small team operating across our two whisky Brand Home sites at Rosebank and Glengoyne, it’s essential that the successful role holder is highly organised and methodical in their approach, with the capacity to manage a challenging (and rewarding!) role working with two prestigious brands.

We’re looking for a clear and effective communicator, someone who feels comfortable and confident engaging with key stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally. Whilst the ability to use your own initiative is important, it’s essential that the role holder can work collaboratively across teams and build positive relationships.

The successful candidate will be someone with previous experience in a similar commercial role, preferably within the tourism, hospitality, and/or drinks industry. An enthusiastic and hard-working team player, with a solid understanding of marketing principles, excellent project management skills, and the ability to produce high-quality and engaging written and social content.

This role will be based at our Rosebank Distillery (Falkirk) but also supports our Glengoyne Distillery (North Glasgow). We are therefore looking for candidates who live within a commutable distance to both sites and have access to their own transport. Candidates must also be able to demonstrate that they currently have the required documents to live and work in the UK.

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, excitement has been palpable as we have now opened the doors to our brand-new, state-of-the-art distillery at the Arches on East Market Street. This is where traditional craft meets innovation, and we celebrate the art of gin-making amidst breath-taking views of Edinburgh’s skyline.

Edinburgh Gin has indeed been on an incredible journey so far! One of our biggest milestones to date, has been the opening of our new distillery at the beginning of December… a wonderous moment which has been years in the making!

Our Edinburgh Gin brand is already a multi award winning brand and there has been lots for us to celebrate so far. Our central brand management team have been pivotal in elevating our brand to consumers, recently completing an evolved brand position with new master visuals and brand toolkit and enhancing a variety of event experiences. There have been exciting new product developments including the redesign of our ready-to-drink can range, new bottled exclusives and supporting our new distillery and visitor centre.
