Job description
About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Prospect Research professional to take ownership of a key function within a growing Trusts & Philanthropy team at the Royal British Legion. Sitting at the heart of major donor and philanthropic fundraising activity, this role will shape and strengthen the prospect pipeline, uncovering new opportunities across high-net-worth individuals, trusts, foundations and corporate networks. Working closely with senior stakeholders, trustees and fundraising colleagues, you’ll provide the insight, intelligence and strategic thinking that helps turn opportunities into long-term relationships and significant support.

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.

We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious, commercially aware and highly analytical, with the confidence to work with complex information and turn it into clear, actionable insight. You’ll have experience conducting in depth prospect research, producing high quality briefing materials and managing sensitive information with accuracy and discretion. Just as importantly, you’ll understand how to build momentum within a pipeline spotting connections, identifying emerging opportunities and helping colleagues make informed decisions through strong research and due diligence. This is a role for someone who enjoys joining the dots, thinking strategically and influencing fundraising activity behind the scenes.

Alongside the opportunity to lead and develop prospect research activity, you’ll join a collaborative and ambitious team that values expertise, ideas and initiative. You’ll have the chance to work on high-value fundraising opportunities, contribute to future strategy and play a visible role in how philanthropy develops across the organisation. If you’re someone who thrives on uncovering opportunities, enjoys working with data and insight, and wants a role where your research genuinely drives fundraising success, this is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark.

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
- Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave
- Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%
- Range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role
- Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice
- Range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives
- Opportunities to volunteer
- Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more!

For more detailed information about the role, please see the Vacancy Information Pack attached to our direct advert. Our teams take a personalised approach to shortlisting, which is carried out without the use of AI and is based on the evidence provided in your application against the essential and desirable criteria in the Person Specification.

RBL is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community and of wider society. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and personal characteristics.

As part of our commitment to inclusion, we offer guaranteed interview schemes for candidates who declare an Armed Forces connection and/or a disability. However, candidates are only eligible for this scheme if their application clearly demonstrates that they meet all of the essential criteria listed in the Person Specification for the role.

We may close this vacancy early if we believe we have enough strong applications to be able to successfully fill the role(s). Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as
possible.
