I notice that the salary for this is very specific yet every other job advertised recently doesn't state the salary.

That salary feels a bit low ball for what they’re expecting. Have we announced the new commercial director yet?

I thought that. They would have been better off reducing the salary and looking for a graduate to mould and develop I think.

Thankfully, it doesn’t mention anywhere about doing the job voluntarily and then asking for payment…

I think that salary is too low to tempt someone of high calibre and skill/experience. It’s a pretty modest return for a manager, unless there are bonuses and commission. Just my view as a manager in the public sector. If the person was single and looking to move to the area, they wouldn’t be affording current rents/mortgages and bills etc on that money.  Maybe the aim is indeed to attract a younger person who can develop in role under their guidance.

28K for a manager ?  The rest of the staff must be on pss poor wages - I suppose they will expect him to roll up for meetings on his Raleigh. Hope they've got a bike rack with a good chain.

The salary potentially doesn’t match the job title but it reads and seems to be a job aimed at a graduate or recent graduate so there’s potential there.

A role like this can be a gateway and with football the global machine it is now, there’s scope to forge a decent career so again, that could be a pull.

Balancing the books is always a task and it’s likely a case of, we need these roles but we don’t have a bottomless pit.

The reason I didn’t apply for the safeguarding role was due to the part time offer and the salary, it left no room for me to say work at my current job 3/4 days a week and then that as an additional and it certainly wasn’t something I was able to do part time.

The positive is the roles are being created and are entirely necessary, the not so positive is possibly the advertised salaries…

Does it include free child care and breast feeding on the job - just asking for a friend.

If they get a graduate they don't have experience which is invaluable in a commercial role both in terms of generating income and also understanding how to build commercial relationships, usually the latter leads to the former.

At this salary, I think it is unlikely that they get the calibre they probably want. In that regard, they would have been better reducing the salary and going out for a graduate who they can mould.

It does make me wonder if the new Head of Commercial is on the kind of salary you would expect to see for this role.

Seems a very low salary for a manager with commercial nous. There seems to be a lurch from quality to quantity in the office.

If we employ a graduate who will teach him/her the job ?

I would have thought an ex or present GTFC player that probably already lives here & coming towards the end of his career would be ideal for this role.

You mean like Dave Smith?
