The Finance & Fundraising Director role provides an exciting opportunity to work with a new governing body, through a time of growth and development, underpinned by our new strategic plan. It is the perfect time to get involved and help shape and review how we manage and report on existing funds but also lead the development of new funding streams. Applicants don’t need to have prior knowledge of target shooting, but expertise in accounting and a willingness to throw yourself into this brilliant sport are important.

Who Are Scottish Target Shooting?

Scottish Target Shooting (STS) is a unified governing body created in 2016 to help develop the sport of target shooting in Scotland. As a new governing body, we are looking to have a positive impact on clubs and help individuals of all abilities, across all the various disciplines of the sport. Having completed our last 4 year investment cycle in 2019, 2020 is an exciting time to join the Board and be involved with the organisation in the first part of our next 4 year cycle as we implement our new strategic plan, focusing on supporting and growing the different varieties of target shooting from the grassroots up to Commonwealth and Olympic Games level. With STS receiving increased investment as part of this new cycle, it’s more important than ever that we make sure our finances are accurately and professionally scrutinised and reported and we are making best use of the resources available to us. The Finance & Fundraising Director will play a crucial role in ensuring STS demonstrates good practice in this area and is continually looking how it can maximise its potential to gain additional external funding.
