Commercial Director - Walking With The Wounded - Remote with Travel - £75,000

Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) stands side by side with veterans as they rebuild their lives after military service. Through specialist programmes across mental health, employment, and wraparound care coordination, WWTW supports those who have fallen furthest, helping them regain stability, independence, and confidence.

WWTW is now seeking a commercial driven and values-led leader to help them navigate a competitive and rapidly evolving funding environment. To continue delivering vital services at scale, the incoming Commercial Director must be ambitious and hands on. If successful, you will be tasked with shaping and driving the charity's income growth strategy in order to bring unity, discipline, and commercial rigor to the fundraising and marketing team.

The Role

Job Title: Commercial Director
Reports to: Deputy CEO
Responsible for: Fundraising, Marketing and Communications
Based at: Home based, with the expectation of regular travel to meet business needs.
Hours: Permanent, standard is 37.5 (9-5, half hour unpaid break)
Company benefits: 5% Employer pension contribution, Employee Assistance programme

The Commercial Director is a senior leadership role responsible for driving sustainable income growth and strengthening Walking With The Wounded's commercial position. The role holds strategic and operational accountability for Fundraising and Marketing, with a particular focus on sustaining Trusts and Foundations income, growing key events, and significantly expanding corporate partnerships.

The Commercial Director is a core member of the Senior Leadership Team and plays a central role in shaping organisational strategy and decision-making. While supported by the Chief Executive Officer, Trustees and wider SLT in unlocking opportunities and coordinating activity, the postholder holds ultimate accountability for commercial performance, revenue growth and long-term sustainability.

This role is critical to the future success of Walking With The Wounded. As the organisation operates in an increasingly competitive and complex income environment, sustained impact depends on a strong commercial approach that combines strategic leadership with hands-on delivery. The Commercial Director provides clear ownership of growth, sharpens focus on performance and return on investment, and ensures the organisation is positioned effectively in the market to maximise opportunity, resilience and long-term impact.

This is a hands-on commercial leadership role. The postholder is expected to personally generate income by securing high-value partnerships and sponsorships, while also coordinating and maximising wider relationship management activity across the charity.

This is a hands on commercial leadership role, suited to an individual who is equally comfortable setting strategy, building relationships at senior levels, analysing performance and ROI, and personally securing high value partnerships.
