Royal British Legion – Senior Supporter Acquisition Manager.
Location: London, hybrid (office two days a week).
Salary: £47,212 to £49,252, per annum (Inclusive of London Supplement).
Contract: Permanent, full-time, 35 hours per week.
The Royal British Legion (RBL), the leading Armed Forces charity, is looking for an experienced marketing manager to join their Fundraising directorate and lead a brilliant team to develop and implement a range of supporter acquisition marketing programmes to achieve the growth ambitions of their Fundraising strategy.
RBL holds a special place in the hearts and minds of generations of people in society. As the largest military charity in the UK and home of the extraordinary Poppy Appeal it has provided support to members of the Armed Forces community for over 100 years. Today is no different. The needs of veterans, young and old, serving personal and their families are growing and complex. To support them the charity needs to raise awareness and donations.
The Supporter Acquisition team at RBL is responsible for all marketing to attract new supporters across a large portfolio of appeals/products and media. The charity is seeking a team leader who has significant expertise with a wide range of marketing channels and can really add value to large well-established programmes with their experience, knowledge and drive to continually improve, identify appropriate new opportunities and shape supporter acquisition programmes.
The role involves leading an experienced team of two managers and two co-ordinators, and leading relationships with key suppliers. The marketing programmes include most significantly face-to-face fundraising (from stands in retail space or expos/outdoor events and door-to-door) and DRTV advertising, plus some print campaigns, payroll giving and 3rd party marketing. The role will also manage development projects that could include aspects of digital fundraising. An important part of the role is developing advertising for the nation’s largest charity appeal, the Poppy Appeal each November.
RBL introduced a new fundraising strategy last year called ‘Three Giants’ to focus on protecting and strengthening three vital areas of income generation, the Poppy Appeal, individual giving and gifts in wills. Now is an exciting time to join the charity to help to implement the strategic change and to be a key stakeholder or lead in a variety of cross-team workstreams.
As an experienced senior marketing manager, you would hit the ground running to optimally deliver plans with your team, whilst helping to shape programme strategies and review supply requirements. You will need experience of managing and coaching teams and working in a truly collaborative way with colleagues, teams and suppliers, leading by example in accordance with RBL’s values.
You won’t shy away from complexity and getting to grips with the details of the broad array of appeals/products your team will be marketing and associated systems, budgeting, reporting and KPI measurements for each of them. You’ll strive for excellence, ensuring campaigns are compelling and effective and will be able to capably resolve issues at a senior level and take on new challenges.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to join RBL and help to deliver evolving fundraising programmes that will raise donations today and also provide longer-term opportunities to help fund much-needed welfare services in the years ahead. You would be joining a welcoming and capable team, focused on serving the thousands of beneficiaries who need our help every day.

We are recruiting a Policy and Campaigns Manager to take forward our work on household debt. This role plays a key part in our campaign to end the UK’s household debt crisis.
Over ten million people in the UK are now ‘overindebted’, meaning they are behind on bills or are finding their debt repayments a heavy financial burden. The crisis has been growing over the last decade but has increased dramatically because of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. More and more people are now borrowing to cover bills and essentials.
Our campaign combines community organising with national level campaigning and advocacy work to bring the voices of those most affected by the debt crisis to the fore in debates on policy solutions. You will use your policy and campaigning expertise to help ensure the people most impacted by problem household debt have a say in influencing the policies that affect them. You will work on issues such as the growth in council tax debt and bailiff use, the huge build up in energy debt as a result of the cost of living crisis and making insolvency policy and practice fairer and more accessible so more people can get out of debt.
You will be a key member of our household debt project team, working alongside the Head of Campaigns, Head of Policy and Advocacy, Digital Campaigner and Lead Organiser.
We are looking for someone with great policy analysis and advocacy skills, a strong campaigning mindset, and a passion for social justice. We are not expecting you to already be an expert in all aspects of the role or in household debt policy but are looking for someone with the potential to develop quickly. Crucially, you will also need to appreciate why taking a community organising approach and building the power of people affected by debt is important, though you do not need to have experience in community organising.
This role will require some evening and weekend working, though this will be infrequent.
We strongly value diversity and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. We would particularly like to encourage applications from women and non-binary people, people of colour, people who identify as LGTBQIA+ and people who identify as working class or have done in the past. If you have a question about location or any other aspect of the role, please do get in touch.

Mothers’ Union is a global Christian movement working to transform lives, strengthen families and advocate for change.
Active for nearly 150 years and now with 4 million members in 84 countries, our development programmes have extraordinary reach and an approach that is in line with best practice – our members serve in their local communities, have strong established relationships, and are there for the long term. They see what is needed, where it is needed and work as volunteers to help others. This local knowledge, combined with their Christian faith perspective enables transformation in the communities they serve.
Our programmes, which take an Asset Based Community Transformation approach, are focused around the three pillars identified by our members of stopping violence (especially gender-based violence), poverty and injustice.
We now seek a Director of Global Programmes to build on the excellent work to date to ensure there is consistency in approach, and that the local teams have the necessary capability and capacity in place to deliver to time, quality and budget. Our desire is to do this without losing the relational and member-led approach we have always taken, and to extend the work into more countries.
This will require a best-in-class development leader with a mature Christian faith, the ability to shape culture and convert vision into operational strategies that enable growth. You will be a brilliant team builder and collaborator who balances trust and accountability and you will likely have experience of working in a networked organization, with and through volunteers.
