Episode Details

Sir Mark Jones has stepped down early from his role as chair of Historic Environment Scotland, leaving more than three years into his four-year term. The Scottish Government persuaded him to stay temporarily, but he’s now departing amid a major leadership transition. The agency is urgently seeking a new chair and six board members, with applications closing July 23, 2026. The chair role, offering $408/day, demands proven leadership in cultural change and turnaround, while board members earn $308/day. This shift comes as the organization, managing 300+ historic sites with a $74M annual budget, enters a pivotal phase of growth and evolution.
