We’re an organisation with centuries of history, but a 21st century mandate to be an effective digital first asset for Scotland. Recent targets and developments include completing the digital land register, transforming land registration through improved digital services, and ScotLIS, our new land and information service that facilitates public and professional access to comprehensive data about any piece of land or property in Scotland.
We are currently recruiting for a GIS Team Leader responsible for the delivery of the wide-ranging geo-spatial data services and products we produce currently, and the development of new ones. RoS creates a large amount of spatial data, and is seeking to ensure that this creates value for Scotland.

Working within the Information & Analysis (I&A) business area, you will provide professional capability to enable delivery of a range of high quality spatial data products for internal and external use. This opportunity would suit someone dynamic with considerable initiative, who wishes to develop their experience in a rapidly evolving public sector organisation with a strong outwards focus. As a management position, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, leading and building, the capability of the GIS team to deliver to business and customer needs.
You will need to be analytically strong with an innovative outlook. An interest in data science and how developments in this can support RoS’ aims would be a strong advantage. You will also need a clear understanding of quality assurance, risk and project management, and the ability to create a positive and highly motivated environment to ensure successful delivery across the full range of your responsibilities.
