About The Role

This is a role for someone who knows how to make campaigns land. As an Acquisition Officer in the TV team, you’ll be right at the point where creative ideas turn into real income planning and delivering mass fundraising activity that reaches new supporters and brings them into long-term journeys with the Royal British Legion. You’ll work across integrated TV led campaigns and connected response routes, making sure every piece of activity is joined up, well timed and built to perform in a competitive, fast moving fundraising environment.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

You’ll be hands-on with campaign delivery from day one working with managers, agencies and internal specialists to shape briefs, manage timelines, review results and refine activity based on what the data is telling you. This is a role where detail matters just as much as pace: getting segmentation right, making sure messaging is clear and consistent, and ensuring campaigns are set up properly so they can be measured, understood and improved. You’ll also be close to the numbers, tracking performance and helping to turn insight into practical next steps that improve future activity.

We’re looking for someone who’s already comfortable working in a fundraising or marketing environment where there’s real pressure to deliver. You’ll need to be organised, confident working with different stakeholders, and able to keep multiple campaigns moving without losing control of the detail. If you enjoy taking ownership of your work, spotting what can be improved, and seeing campaigns go from plan to live to impact, this is a role where you’ll have plenty of space to do exactly that and be part of a team that’s building something more consistent, more joined-up, and more effective across acquisition.

Fundraising sits at the heart of The Royal British Legion’s 10-year strategy, and we’re investing in the people, skills and ideas that will drive growth and strengthen our support for the Armed Forces community. As one of the UK’s most trusted and recognisable charities, we have the reach and ambition to make a real difference, and this is your chance to be part of it. Our Fundraising portfolio is broad and dynamic, spanning major corporate partnerships to our sector leading charity Lottery. We’re investing in growth, evolving how we work, and putting supporters at the centre of everything we do. This is an exciting time to join us. You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team, helping shape the future of our fundraising and the impact we achieve together.

If you are applying for multiple Fundraising roles at the same ‘Officer’ or ‘Manager’ title, you are welcome to use the same supporting statement across applications. However, we would encourage tailoring your statement where possible, particularly if applying for roles across different teams or titles.

You will be contracted to our Haig House hub with a minimum expectation of two days per week working in person at the hub and flexibility for working remotely/at home when not on site.

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
