Peter Mearns, Chair of Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd writes:
Stretching over 3,500 acres, Cairngorm Mountain Estate is a place of stunning natural beauty that draws in thousands of visitors every year.
A key attraction in the Cairngorms National Park, the resort enjoys widespread appeal in every season of the year. There’s something for everyone, from family-friendly bike trails and children’s playpark to ranger-guided walks, thrilling mountain carting and, of course, exceptional winter sports – not to mention our café, bar, restaurant and shop.
As the operating company, Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd is looking for an outstanding leader with the skills, experience and ambition to develop the business to its full potential, playing a leading role in delivering the Cairngorm Mountain Masterplan.
The much-anticipated return of our funicular railway will provide a tremendous opportunity for the right person to lead our dedicated and experienced team to new heights in the years ahead. If this sounds like you, we will welcome your application.
Situated on Britain’s sixth highest mountain, in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Cairngorm Mountain is much more than a ski area.
The resort offers unforgettable experiences with year-round activities and access to some of Scotland’s most challenging hill-walking and climbing terrain. It is a place of outstanding natural beauty and plays a fundamental part in attracting visitors to the area throughout the seasons.
