Here's a great opportunity for anyone interested in portraiture and history - the newly refurbished Scottish National Portrait Gallery is looking for a new Director. The current director James Holloway, having overseen the epic restoration of the gallery, is stepping down. You will need:

Substantial and demonstrable experience in relevant roles in heritage or cultural institutions and a good working knowledge of a relevant subject area such as British/Scottish art and/or history

Outstanding people management skills and proven financial management, planning and budgeting experience.

A collaborative approach to team working with the ability to work across the NGS and to influence and network across a range of institutions and individuals, managing competing demands and devising creative solutions to problems.

Sounds like the dream job. Closing date 7th March 2012. Good luck!
