It’s been a successful few years for the Events team with good results across the board – increasing income by over £1 million every year since 2023, a big part of which has been due to the huge growth of virtual challenges.

Thank you for your interest in this role!
Greenwich Hospital is the lead charitable funding organisation for the Royal Navy and wider Royal Navy Community. As such, we are able to facilitate the identification of needs and the setting of strategic priorities, build capacity, deliver significant impact and encourage enhanced collaboration within the Naval charity sector.
We have undertaken significant reform in order to generate increased income for grant making – which has risen from £5m in 2023 to £10m in 2026.
Part of this revision has been the implementation of a new grants strategy in 2024, which seeks in particular to evidence need in order to guide the current and future funding of charitable support, with the expansion of our proactive and preventative funding to support education, young people and families. Our grants now encompass more preventative and wellbeing-enhancing education delivery not covered by public funding.
Following a review of our education and employment funding strategies, we are now focussing on widening our funding support beyond the longstanding bursary scheme for the Royal Hospital School. We are funding new educational programmes (such as free tutoring support) and developmental extra-curricular programmes with varied activities for children in order to enhance social mobility, compensate for the disadvantages of service life and enhance retention in service. This is undertaken in partnership with the Naval Children’s Charity, Royal Naval Sailing Association and Andrew Simpson Foundation. These funding streams also include increased focus on supporting partners of serving personnel with life opportunities and employability programmes.
Engaging with the research community to fill knowledge gaps has been key to the identification and balancing of current against future need, enabling accurate financial forecasting and income generation. We have recently completed our first long-term study of the welfare needs of the RN/RM community with granular demographic and qualitative data running through to 2040, and have now developed a sustainable funding strategy out to then.
This work has been led and overseen by our current Research and Education Grants Manager over the last two years. She will be going on maternity leave in mid-September, so we seek to recruit maternity cover for a fixed-term period of 14 months to join our charity team of four. The expected start date will be the beginning of September, but we hope the successful candidate will be able to meet with the current Manager occasionally before then.
Working alongside strategic partners, we will keep our grant priorities under regular review and adjust according to evidenced need. The Research and Education Grants Manager plays a significant role in this life enhancing work.
It is expected that the current Research and Education Grants Manager will return to work, therefore this maternity cover role will be made redundant at the expiry of its term.

ABOUT UPREACH
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because, currently, a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report and Impact Report.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This is an exciting time to join upReach as we begin a new phase of our digital transformation. We are investing in the systems, tools and ways of working that will help us support more students, improve the experience of the upReach team, and deliver our mission more effectively.
We are looking for a thoughtful, organised and motivated Junior Digital Transformation Manager to join the Product Team and play an important role in turning this ambition into practical, lasting change.
Technology plays a central role in how we support students, collaborate with partners and operate as an organisation. Working with the Director of Product, colleagues in the Product Team and teams across upReach, you will help deliver our digital transformation strategy.
You will coordinate projects from initial discovery and planning through to implementation, training and continuous improvement. You will work closely with internal users, technology suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure digital changes are practical, inclusive, well-managed and aligned with organisational needs.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to significant organisation-wide projects at an early stage, helping to shape how upReach uses technology in the years ahead.
You do not need to have previously worked in a digital transformation role. You may have developed relevant experience through project coordination, operations, process improvement, technology implementation, product management or another role involving organisational change.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how things work and helping people use technology confidently.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
You will support the delivery of upReach’s digital transformation strategy by helping teams adopt better tools, systems and ways of working, including the responsible use of AI.
Your responsibilities will include:
Coordinating the rollout and adoption of new digital tools, systems and AI-enabled solutions.
Supporting digital transformation projects from planning through to implementation and review.
Working with teams across upReach to understand their workflows, challenges and technology needs.
Identifying opportunities to use AI and automation to improve efficiency, quality and user experience.
Gathering and summarising feedback from users during testing, rollout and post-launch.
Creating clear guidance, process documentation and training materials.
Supporting colleagues to use new tools and AI responsibly, confidently and consistently.
Identifying opportunities to improve, simplify or connect systems and processes.
Monitoring how well new tools are working and recommending improvements.
Supporting relationships with external suppliers and technology partners.
You will take ownership of agreed areas of work, while receiving support from the Director of Product and other experienced colleagues.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those who may not have followed a traditional route into technology, project management or digital transformation.
We’re particularly interested in:
Curiosity about how organisations, systems and processes work.
A genuine interest in using technology to improve services and create social impact.
Thoughtful problem-solving and strong attention to detail.
The ability to organise work, plan ahead and manage multiple tasks.
Clear written and verbal communication across different audiences.
The ability to listen to users, understand their needs and represent their perspectives.
Confidence building constructive working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
The ability to take ownership of work while seeking support when appropriate.
A practical and balanced approach to change, recognising that successful transformation depends on people and processes as well as technology.
You do not need previous experience as a Digital Transformation Manager. However, experience or familiarity with any of the following would be helpful:
Implementing or rolling out a new digital tool or system.
Supporting organisational change or encouraging people to adopt new ways of working.
Project management or project coordination.
Process mapping, service design or business analysis.
Gathering user feedback or conducting user research.

COMPETENCIES
Within upReach, the Junior Digital Transformation Manager is an equivalent level to a Junior Manager in other teams. This level involves you demonstrating more leadership capabilities. This includes having ownership of your responsibility area, and demonstrating an ability to informally lead and have positive influence on the wider team. We will be looking for you to demonstrate that you can plan ahead, proactively anticipate upcoming projects or challenges, and problem solve more independently.
upReach have created a Behaviours and Competency Framework to ensure the team have full visibility on the key capabilities required for effective performance, how these connect to our organisational values, and the level required for each band within the organisation.
Within the Product Team, we’ll support you to apply these behaviours and competencies to product management helping you to learn and develop your skills across four key areas:
Delivery & Execution – coordinating and delivering digital change, and solving problems
User Insight – understanding and representing the teams and people who use our systems
Transformation Strategy – thinking ahead, prioritising, and connecting systems and processes
Influencing People – working effectively with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders to drive adoption
You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build your confidence, and grow into greater responsibility over time. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to meaningful projects.
While you may not have experience in product management, we would expect you to be demonstrating most competencies at level 3 with some at Level 2.
