You’ll need to be a proactive self-starter, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and skilled at working with a wide range of stakeholders. A relevant project management qualification is essential, alongside strong technical know-how and a real drive to make things better. If you’re someone who enjoys being at the heart of delivery and making change stick, we’d love to hear from you.

At the Royal British Legion, we know the importance of flexibility, so we offer options like our 9-day fortnight while also considering other flexible working arrangements to suit your needs. We want you to feel supported in balancing work with life’s other joys!

You will be contracted to your home address and will carry out the majority of your work remotely, using our collaboration tools to engage with colleagues. Regular travel to London will be required once a month for team meetings, and there may be additional travel and occasional out-of-hours work to support meetings with volunteers and key stakeholder groups.
