Tell the stories that make Scotland’s islands special.
We're an ambitious, award-winning marketing team – and we’re fortunate to be the custodians of a brand closely connected to Scotland, its islands and one that’s built on generations of maritime expertise.
We’re looking for a Content Executive to help bring the Caledonian MacBrayne brand to life through coordinating engaging, authentic content across our channels – from social media and email to our website, blogs and digital screens.
You’ll play a hands-on role in creating, coordinating and optimising content that celebrates the people, places and experiences at the heart of our network. You’ll also have the opportunity to get out across the network, capturing stories and content first-hand and working with our creative partners to bring bigger ideas to life.
What You’ll Do
- Help plan and deliver our content calendar, ensuring we have engaging and relevant content across our channels.
- Manage day-to-day social media activity, including writing copy, scheduling content and engaging with our communities.
- Work with colleagues and agency partners to coordinate and manage content for email newsletters, blogs, website updates and digital screens.
- Travel across our network to capture authentic content showcasing our vessels, destinations, customers and island communities.
- Work with creative agencies and partners to deliver photography, video and other digital assets.
- Support influencer collaborations and content partnerships, from briefing and content delivery through to approvals and performance evaluation.
- Monitor content and channel performance, using insight to identify opportunities to improve engagement and reach.
- Support campaigns by creating and coordinating content and marketing assets.
- Help ensure all marketing outputs reflect the CalMac brand, tone of voice and high standards.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
