Experienced, self-motivated, and flexible professionals are sought to join the City of Edinburgh Council’s Corporate Policy and Insight section to support the programme of work.
These new posts will join an existing team of highly motivated professionals who together will provide the leadership, energy and drive to deliver a progressive sustainability agenda.
Interviews will be conducted remotely by videoconference.

The city is one of only 10 European cities leading the way on climate change as part of the ‘Healthy, Clean, Cities Deep Demonstration’ programme aiming to secure a swift and just transition to a low carbon future for Scotland.
The work will be informed by the newly established independent Climate Commission for Edinburgh, which the Council is co-sponsoring with ECCI and the UK-wide Place-based Climate Action Network.
