Glasgow Life

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the role of Chief Executive at Glasgow Life

As one of Scotland’s largest charities, Glasgow Life is at the heart of this wonderful city. We work to promote the life-changing benefits of culture, physical activity and sport, as well as promoting Glasgow to a global audience.

Bursting with energy, passion and personality, Glasgow is Scotland’s cultural and sporting powerhouse and one of Europe’s most vibrant and dynamic cities.

As the UK’s first UNESCO City of Music, Scotland’s first UNESCO Learning City, and the only city to have been named European Capital of Sport twice, Glasgow is home to world-class museums, galleries and attractions, a rich architectural heritage and a thriving and diverse food and drink scene.

Glasgow’s outstanding programme of year-round events and festivals is recognised globally, and the city is a first-choice destination for nearly four million tourists every year.

The primary focus of the Chief Executive of Glasgow Life is to maximise the positive impacts the charity has in Glasgow and Scotland, leading the delivery of the city’s innovative strategies for culture, libraries, physical activity and sport, events, and tourism, as well as contributing to Glasgow’s wider heritage strategies and community planning.
