Director
Would you like to make a substantial impact on Scotland’s small press scenes and help uplift self-publishing creators? Small Press Scotland CIC is looking for a new director to join our existing team as a partner. You will assist with and oversee event organisation, community engagement, and development of resources and strategies to educate and assist creators working across many creative fields.
SPS is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting Scotland’s small press communities, including those working with comics, tabletop games, and zines. We organise two market events, TAGS Festival (Edinburgh) and Sequential Scotland (Glasgow). We advocate for Scottish small press creators and plan to put on professional development and skillsharing days for creators to improve their knowledge and further their careers. SPS has a strong and growing reputation as an organisation that prioritises creators and is taking concrete steps to improve community networks and shared knowledge. Our ideal candidate will share this passion, and may even want to bring their own projects and ideas to SPS.
This is a volunteer, unpaid role in the immediate future; all current directors are working on a volunteer or contractor basis dependent on project funding. If full funding is received for our 2027 programme and beyond, we expect to pay all directors a rate of £20/hour for approximately 200 hours a year. Paid work would be contracted to directors and payment must be invoiced for.
Deadline: 9th of December 2026
