About The Role

This is an opportunity for a 6 month maternity cover 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. As one of two Product Strategy Managers, you’ll take ownership of developing clear, insight-led strategies across a varied fundraising portfolio, helping teams understand where the biggest opportunities for growth sit and how different products can work together to create stronger audience engagement. 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.

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.

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.

• Ensuring resilience activity across the UK is effective, consistent, financially sustainable and grounded in operational delivery, with a clear focus on communities most exposed to risk.
• Working closely with operational leaders and volunteer teams to maintain readiness and the ability to scale quickly during crises.

To be a successful UK Director of UK Resilience, what will you need?

• Knowledge of national resilience systems, including preparedness, response and recovery arrangements operating across the UK.
• Senior-level experience of leading or influencing complex, multi-agency and multi-stakeholder environments, with the ability to work effectively across sectors.
• Experience of developing and delivering strategy at national or system level, including translating strategic intent into priorities and outcomes.
• Experience of building and sustaining strategic partnerships with government, emergency responders and voluntary and community sector organisations.
• Experience of operating with senior stakeholders, including producing high-quality strategic documents and Board-level papers.
• Understanding and experience of how risk, vulnerability and impact from crises differ across communities, and how this shapes effective resilience planning and delivery.

About FILE  

The Foundation for International Law for the Environment (FILE) is a not-for-profit philanthropic organisation working to accelerate legal action on climate change.   

Through grant-making and in-house legal expertise, we empower our partners to deliver strategic, innovative legal interventions and we support lawyers in their own countries to bring their own cases.   

Legal action can unlock the systemic changes in finance, policy and social systems needed to protect all of us from climate change. The power of the law is both direct (changing policy and practice) and indirect (signalling the wider shifts taking place across these systems).  

FILE is a ‘regrantor’ - this means we do not bring legal action in our own name. We receive grants from our philanthropic donors and make onwards grants to partners who align with FILE’s charitable aims and purposes. We do not seek to make any profit from our activities either in a relevant financial year or in the longer term.  

The Role  

We are looking for an inspiring and strategic interim leader to join FILE during a period of organisational transition, as we shape our strategy for the next three years and review our long-term leadership structure. 

This is a strictly interim appointment, created to provide visible senior leadership across our Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships functions while FILE undertakes a wider review of its long-term organisational design and permanent leadership arrangements. 

As Interim Director of Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships, you will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, partnering closely with the Executive Director, Supervisory Board, and senior leaders to strengthen the connection between our fundraising, donor engagement and grantmaking activities. You will help build an integrated approach across teams, ensure our resources are deployed to maximise impact and long-term sustainability, and support the transition to a new permanent leadership structure. 

This is an opportunity for someone who combines strong relationship-building and leadership skills with a deep understanding of philanthropy, partnerships and systems change, and who is excited by the chance to help shape FILE's future direction at an important moment in our growth. 

The role spans five core areas: strategic leadership, team development and operational excellence, grantmaking strategy and portfolio oversight, strategic fundraising and partnership development, and external engagement and ecosystem stewardship. 

Key Responsibilities  

Strategic Leadership (20%) 
As an interim Senior Leadership Team member during a period of change, you will support the development and delivery of FILE's Strategic Plan, contributing to collective SLT decision-making and accountability. You will advise the Executive Director, SLT and Board on grantmaking, philanthropic partnerships, ecosystem trends and strategic growth opportunities, and lead strategic planning and scenario analysis on funding and grantmaking priorities together with the Interim Finance Director. 

Leadership, Team Development and Operational Excellence (25%) 
You will provide integrated leadership across the Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships functions, acting as their ambassador within the SLT and ensuring their perspectives are visible in senior decision-making. This includes building leadership capability and succession across both teams, ensuring effective governance, performance and accountability frameworks are in place, and fostering a coherent approach to impact, relationship management and organisational learning across the two functions. 

Grantmaking Strategy, Risk and Portfolio Oversight (20%) 
You will provide strategic oversight of FILE's grantmaking approach, portfolio risk, due diligence and resource allocation, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and the evolving needs of the climate legal ecosystem. You will champion grant process improvements and innovative grantmaking approaches, embed JEDI principles throughout grantmaking policies and decision-making, and ensure robust oversight of portfolio performance, impact and learning. 

Strategic Fundraising and Partnership Development (20%) 
You will lead FILE's Philanthropic Partnerships function, co-developing and delivering a long-term fundraising strategy aligned to FILE's priorities and growth ambitions. This includes overseeing funding diversification, major donor engagement, income pipelines and fundraising performance, engaging the Board on partnership opportunities, and fostering an organisation-wide culture of relationship stewardship and resource mobilisation. 

External Engagement, Influence and Ecosystem Stewardship (15%) 
You will represent FILE at the most senior levels with donors, partners and sector stakeholders, positioning the organisation as a trusted voice within the climate philanthropy and climate justice ecosystem.

Key Outcomes  

• FILE's Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships teams implement FILE's strategy in a highly collaborative environment, working effectively with the Strategy team, Communications and the Organisational Development offer.  
• Key functions are supported and enabled for transition to a new permanent leadership structure during a period of change.

• FILE's grantmaking is equitable, inclusive and values driven, with JEDI principles visibly embedded in grantmaking design, decision making and partner relationships.  
• Efficient, adaptable and effective systems, policies and processes are in place across grantmaking and partnerships, reflecting FILE's values and culture.  
• The Board is actively engaged on philanthropic partnerships matters, with Board relationships leveraged effectively to support funder introductions and income development.
