About The Role

This is an opportunity to shape the future direction of fundraising at the Royal British Legion in a role that blends strategic thinking, commercial awareness and collaboration across a large and ambitious directorate.

Working across areas such as Regular Giving, Lottery, Legacy, Events and Philanthropy, you’ll play a key role in influencing how products are positioned, prioritised and developed for the future.

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 enjoys operating at both a strategic and operational level, someone who can take complex information, audience insight and market research and turn it into practical, actionable plans that people can get behind. You’ll be confident building relationships with stakeholders across multiple teams, challenging existing ways of working and bringing people together around a shared direction. This role would suit someone who is naturally curious, commercially minded and comfortable working in a fast paced environment where priorities evolve and collaboration is essential. You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape new processes, improve ways of working and become a trusted expert within the directorate on product strategy and portfolio development.

Alongside the strategic focus, this is a role with real variety and visibility. You’ll work closely with senior colleagues across Acquisition and Development, Planning, Data, Market Research and Innovation, influencing how fundraising products are used across the supporter journey and helping ensure audiences are engaging with the right propositions at the right time. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong product strategy experience within the charity sector who wants to step into a highly collaborative role with genuine scope to influence future growth, bring fresh thinking to an evolving function and help shape how a major national charity approaches fundraising strategy moving forward.

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.

Ty Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

We believe that no family should have to live this on their own and we are determined to walk alongside every family through life, death and beyond.

At Tŷ Hafan we are experts at caring for children with life-shortening conditions and our services support families in our hospice, in community settings, local hospitals and in families’ homes.

About the role

Cardiomyopathy UK's Director of Research and External Affairs leads the charity's research, policy and advocacy, and communications and marketing functions, with a team of four staff.

The Director is a member of the charity's Leadership Team, working closely with the CEO to steer the charity forward. 

For the right person, this is an opportunity with real strategic scope. We want to build on our strong policy positions and evidence base and translate them into more proactive campaigning and influencing, moving from good policy thinking to concerted public affairs activity, strategic stakeholder engagement, and campaigns that achieve real change.

Raising awareness of cardiomyopathy, its signs, symptoms and genetic risk, is also within the team's scope.
