- The membership and cluster management organisation for Scotland’s digital technologies industry, ScotlandIS, has started the recruitment process for three new board members
- The organisation is seeking one representative from a start-up, one from a scaling company, and one from an established SME
- The positions are three-year appointments
ScotlandIS, the membership and cluster management organisation for Scotland’s digital technologies industry, has started the search for three new senior representatives to join its board.
Currently ScotlandIS has 13 board members, but with three stepping down at the end of their tenure, this brings the opportunity for new faces to join the leadership team. The appointment will be for three years and is designed to add additional expertise and experience to the organisation, while ensuring best representation of the demographic of ScotlandIS members.
As ScotlandIS looks towards ambitious growth targets, both in terms of member numbers and overall impact, the new board members will help craft the strategic direction of the organisation for the short, medium and long term. There will be a clear focus on maximising the positive impact for members, as well as driving policy discussions at the highest level.
In addition to a passion for growing and supporting the Scottish technology sector, candidates must:
- Be a senior leader in their organisation
- Represent a start-up, scale-up or established SME
- Be part of an organisation that is a ScotlandIS member
It has been a busy year so far for ScotlandIS, with results from its annual survey of technology companies, the Digital Tech Awards and numerous industry partnerships. It’s a trend that looks set to continue with plans to increase sector focused activity around Scotland’s managed service providers, cyber security and space sectors specifically. And that’s not accounting for the numerous training, networking and speaker events that are already planned.
It is a busy time for ScotlandIS with the expansion of the ScotlandIS Scholarship to reach rural communities, partnering on a first-of-its-kind report on the role of a Chief AI Officer, and a recent win at the SEMTSF Awards for Best Provider of Digital Skills, not to mention another successful ScotSoft Conference under their belts.
It’s a trend that looks set to continue with plans to increase sector focused activity around Scotland’s managed service providers, space and cyber security sectors specifically, in line with CEO Karen Meechan’s appointment as Chair of the CyberScotland partnership earlier this year.
With entries now open for the organisation’s 2026 Digital Technology Awards and the launch of the annual Scottish Technology Industry Survey not far behind, it is an exciting time to get involved and help shape the future vision of ScotlandIS.
