Social Impact Officer
We are seeking a talented, experienced, and passionate Social Impact Project Officer to support the development and delivery of a transformative social impact strategy that leverages cycling to improve lives across Scotland. This role will work closely with internal teams and key event partners to maximise a coordinated and impactful approach.
There are three overarching social impact outcomes that all UK wide event partners are collectively looking to contribute to before, during and after the Grand Départ.
