Address: Perth PH1 3RY

The College is seeking to appoint an Operations Manager for the Estates and Commercial functions at the school. The role will be part of the Chief Operating Officer’s leadership team and will have three clear areas of responsibility:

  • To lead the commercial activity delivered by the College’s wholly-owned trading subsidiary, Glenalmond College Enterprises. This plays a crucial role in promoting Glenalmond College as a destination and venue for commercial business, a key source of non-fee income.
  • To line manage the operational functions of Estates and Transport. Whilst Estates oversees the smooth running of our historic 300-acre estate, working specifically to manage the assets of the property and grounds, the Transport function operates a fleet of minibuses delivering daily pupil travel to and from the College and for other school activities.
  • To act as the key relationship manager for the College’s outsourced catering contract.

The role will lead and develop new business, manage client relationships, and drive commercial partnerships and community engagement. This position represents an excellent opportunity for a highly skilled and motivated individual to contribute to the year-round life of one of Scotland’s foremost boarding schools.

The role may also encompass oversight of the delivery of other projects led by the office of the Chief Operating Officer.

Responsible to: Chief Operating Officer, Glenalmond College
