We’re recruiting individuals to join our SMIA EDIA Advisory Group who will develop an EDIA Strategy for the Scottish music industry, including devising the implementation and evaluation methods.
The EDIA Advisory Group Chair will lead by-monthly meetings and support with direction-setting for the meetings and group more broadly.
Key Responsibilities
- Be available to attend online meetings every two months from June 2024 – April 2025
- Be available to undertake pre-reading, research or other preparation for meetings
- Collaboratively and supportively share knowledge, expertise and lived experience where possible
- Gather relevant input from music industry networks
- Have awareness of related local and national music industry, and broader creative industries or adjacent industries, and use this to inform input to the EDIA Strategy
- Identify opportunities for other artists, organisations and communities to participate in the strategy development process
Required Experience
- All members must live in Scotland
- All applicants must have been active in the Scottish music industry for the previous two years
- Applicants must have a demonstrated connection to their community/communities
- We strongly encourage applications from people who have previous work experience (music or wider creative industries) focusing directly on EDIA and strategy development
- Priority will be given to engaging independent musicians or music industry workers (e.g. freelancers) who have not previously been employed by major music businesses or creative industries organisations, as we recognise that people with precarious working situations have less opportunities to contribute to decisions made for the music industry
The SMIA is committed to ensuring equal opportunities in employment. No discrimination will be made throughout the recruitment process based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, gender or socio-economic background.
The SMIA values the understanding that lived experience brings. Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. If you meet the majority of the criteria we require for this role then we want to hear from you.
