Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games jobs launched including search for CEO

The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games are set to proceed with a £100 million compensation package, ensuring minimal public funding despite a short turnaround time. The event will feature fewer sports than the 2014 edition, and a recruitment drive is underway for key executive positions to shape a sustainable, scaled-down event. This initiative aims to establish a blueprint for future large-scale events, with roles for chief information officers, chief marketing and communications officers, and non-executive directors. Glasgow has a strong track record of hosting international events, including the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), the 2018 European Championships, and the inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships in 2023. The city s political and hospitality leaders have praised the decision to bring the Commonwealth Games back to Glasgow, viewing it as a potential economic boost. Douglas Adam, a Director at Livingston James, emphasizes the importance of strong leadership skills and experience in creating and delivering major events on tight budgets. The roles require candidates with a proven record of innovation, quick event delivery, and a firm grasp of modern ESG requirements. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the future of the Commonwealth Games and help elevate Glasgow and Scotland s global standing in hosting large-scale international events.
