Role

Foundation Scotland puts people at the heart of its work. We rely on the expertise, trust and experience we’ve gained in the last 25 years working with communities, philanthropists and companies all over Scotland.

Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.

Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.

Our Social Investment Team has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, facilitating unique delivery and management of a portfolio of loan investments to social enterprises. There is a growing level of awareness about social investment, and as senior social investment executive, you will have a key role in helping to build an understanding of the exciting opportunities that come from this type of funding model.

As the grant funding environment becomes more challenging, the wider community, charity and social enterprise sectors have the opportunity to take on loan finance, and our growing portfolio of investees bears this out.

Key responsibilities will include processing applications, the preparation and analysis of complex detailed financial reports and making an overall recommendation on the suitability for borrowing. You will provide excellent customer service and support to our loan applicants and current investees and enjoy helping to support our them to put together their plans, applications, financial projections and social impact information that can help them move forward, importantly taking a flexible approach to a variety of cases.

Reporting to the Head of Social Investment, this role requires excellent financial acumen relating to credit assessment, critical and analytical thinking with strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail. You might have a background in banking, third sector finance with experience of loan applications, or come from an accounting role and bring an interest in forecasting, financial modelling and funding.
