Jim Murphy has unveiled his shadow cabinet team following a re-shuffle three days after he was elected Scottish party leader.
He has given top posts to Jackie Baillie, Iain Gray, Hugh Henry and Jenny Marra.
Ms Baillie is shadow finance spokeswoman, Mr Gray, education, Mr Henry, justice and Ms Marra, health.
Mary Fee is promoted to shadow infrastructure, while Graeme Pearson moves to tackle enterprise, Clair Baker, culture and Ken McIntosh, social justice.
Defeated candidate Neil Findlay is work and skills spokesman while third place Sarah Boyack is rural affairs spokeswoman.
Mr Murphy revealed his team outside the Scottish Parliament, but said he would have a base inside, even though he is not an MSP.
He said: "I will lead the Scottish Labour Party from Scotland working out of the Scottish Parliament. I picked up my security pass this morning.
"We recognise politics exists outside parliaments and outside the debating chamber."
He said former leader Johann Lamont had wished him well and said she did not want to be considered for a post.
The MP for East Renfrewshire said he had not consulted Westminster colleagues about his plans for the constitution, adding that he would no longer seek permission or agreement on decisions concerning Scottish Labour.
The reshuffle follows Mr Murphy's first major speech as party leader in Glasgow yesterday, in which he said he would introduce changes to the party's constitution which would lead to its "refounding and rebirth", with all decisions for the Scottish Labour Party taken without interference from the UK party leadership.
Mr Murphy later said that the new top team would represent a "fresh start" after deciding the time was right to "shake things up".
He said: "No member of the shadow cabinet will stay in their current post, every member of the team will be on the move.
"This is a crucial time for Scotland and I will put together a team that can reach out to Scotland. Everybody will be new in their post and nobody will remain in their old job. It's a big change for the Scottish Labour Party.
"It's not important to me who the members of the shadow cabinet voted for in the leadership contest. We need a new team of all the talents across our party to put forward a positive vision of how Scottish Labour can make Scotland the fairest nation in the world."
The reshuffle comes after Paul Sinclair, a former senior advisor to Ms Lamont, claimed the party "did not know what it was for".
He said that the SNP had "an intellectual and strategic capacity" that outstripped its opposition and that seats at Westminster and Holyrood had been treated by Labour as "prizes for time servers, or places to put problems, rather than opportunities for people of ability."
The comments were leapt on by the SNP, which described them as "hugely embarrassing" for Mr Murphy, just three days into his job.
SNP MSP James Dornan said: "The cat is out of the bag, and Paul Sinclair has confirmed what we all suspected - a really bad attitude towards Scotland permeates the Labour Party, particularly their Westminster MPs. No wonder they are in the doldrums in the polls and in local by-elections in Scotland.
"If anyone knows what is going on within Labour in Scotland then it will be the person who has spent the past few years as the senior adviser to their former leader. Mr Sinclair's excoriating attack on Labour's Westminster MPs is hugely embarrassing for new leader Jim Murphy, as a Westminster MP himself - and who reportedly said 'at least it's not Scotland' when Tony Blair gave him a job in government."
