Looking to shape the future of Scotland’s real estate sector?
Real Estate:Futures is looking for early-career professionals to help shape and deliver a programme that connects, supports and champions the next generation of Scotland’s real estate professionals.
To complement the wider RE:Futures network, Early Careers and Future Leaders Committees, the Scotland Committee will play an important role in building a strong, inclusive and forward-looking community for professionals in the first 15 years of their real estate career.
About the Opportunity
The Scotland Committee will help shape and guide Real Estate:Futures activity across Scotland, working closely with Real Estate:Scotland and the wider Real Estate:Futures network to drive engagement and develop a programme of events, learning opportunities and networking activities that reflect the needs and ambitions of early-career professionals across the sector.
This is an opportunity to bring fresh ideas, expand your professional network, develop leadership skills and contribute to a programme that supports the next generation of real estate professionals while helping to shape the future of Scotland's built environment.
Previous activity has included networking and speed networking events, net-runs, panel sessions, site tours and CDP workshops, and the new committee will help build on this strong foundation.

Other ways to get involved
Other ways to get involved
Applicants who are not appointed to the Scotland Committee may be invited to support as RE:Futures Ambassadors.
Ambassadors are key contacts who help bring the programme to life across member organisations. They act as connectors and catalysts, supporting events, identifying opportunities around locations and regions, sharing ideas from their organisation and helping ensure value flows across the wider membership.
This is a light-touch, action-focused role. Ambassadors may help unlock venues, speakers or audiences, encourage attendance, share relevant updates and opportunities within their organisation and circles, welcome new members at events and support practical activity that helps the network grow.
Ambassadors will usually meet quarterly online, with informal collaboration between meetings where useful. The role is designed to be flexible, low-bureaucracy and focused on making things happen.
