About The Role This is a role for someone who sees how things really work behind the scenes and can t help spotting where they could work better. As Process Development Lead, you ll sit right at the heart of Supporter Services and Fundraising operations, shaping how work flows end-to-end so it s clearer, faster, more consistent and ultimately better for the people we support. You won t just be tweaking processes, you ll be joining the dots across teams, systems, suppliers and governance to build something that actually holds together at scale and stands up to scrutiny. 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.

You ll bring structure where it s missing, whether that s standard operating procedures, RACI models, dashboards or control frameworks but you ll also know when something needs simplifying rather than adding another layer. Alongside this, you ll take a leading role in how key fundraising suppliers are managed, making sure performance, compliance and value for money are properly understood and built into everyday operations, not treated as an afterthought.

You ll be working closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Supporter Services, Finance, Procurement and Compliance, influencing without authority and building trust so that new ways of working actually stick. You ll be the person who helps teams see the benefit in doing things differently, supports them through it, and keeps improving what s already in place. If you re someone who enjoys taking messy, inconsistent processes and turning them into something that works properly in the real world and then making sure it stays that way, this is where you ll make your mark. 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.

About The Role This is a role for someone who sees how things really work behind the scenes and can't help spotting where they could work better. As Process Development Lead, you'll sit right at the heart of Supporter Services and Fundraising operations, shaping how work flows end-to-end so it's clearer, faster, more consistent and ultimately better for the people we support. You won't just be tweaking processes, you'll be joining the dots across teams, systems, suppliers and governance to build something that actually holds together at scale and stands up to scrutiny. 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. A big part of this role is turning complexity into clarity. That means mapping what's happening now, challenging where it doesn't add value, and designing ways of working that people can actually follow and rely on. You'll bring structure where it's missing, whether that's standard operating procedures, RACI models, dashboards or control frameworks but you'll also know when something needs simplifying rather than adding another layer. Alongside this, you'll take a leading role in how key fundraising suppliers are managed, making sure performance, compliance and value for money are properly understood and built into everyday operations, not treated as an afterthought. Just as important is how you get things embedded. This isn't a role where change sits in a document it has to land with people. You'll be working closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Supporter Services, Finance, Procurement and Compliance, influencing without authority and building trust so that new ways of working actually stick. You'll be the person who helps teams see the benefit in doing things differently, supports them through it, and keeps improving what's already in place. If you're someone who enjoys taking messy, inconsistent processes and turning them into something that works properly in the real world and then making sure it stays that way, this is where you'll make your mark. 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. Employee benefits include - - 28 day's paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days - Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave - Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10% - Range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role - Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice - Range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives - Opportunities to volunteer - Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more! For more detailed information about the role, please see the Vacancy Information Pack attached to our direct advert. Our teams take a personalised approach to shortlisting, which is carried out without the use of AI and is based on the evidence provided in your application against the essential and desirable criteria in the Person Specification. RBL is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community and of wider society. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and personal characteristics. As part of our commitment to inclusion, we offer guaranteed interview schemes for candidates who declare an Armed Forces connection and/or a disability. However, candidates are only eligible for this scheme if their application clearly demonstrates that they meet all of the essential criteria listed in the Person Specification for the role. We may close this vacancy early if we believe we have enough strong applications to be able to successfully fill the role(s). Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
