About The Royal British Legion

Careers in Finance, Commercial and Projects

Across the country, in every city and on every street, the Legion is there to support our Armed Forces community. As the largest charity of our kind, we have 235,000 members, 60,000 volunteers and a network of partners all helping us give support wherever and whenever it's needed.

When it comes to providing this support to such a deserving community, every penny counts. Not just because we owe it to those who have served for us and their families, but also to those who choose to support us. They need to trust that we do the right thing and make the most of their contribution.

It's this mission, this scale, this challenge and the values we all live by, that makes the Legion such a fulfilling place to thrive.

Our Finance, Commercial and Project directorates consist of various sub departments – such as Business Processes, Financial Planning and Analysis, Procurement, Facilities, Property and the Transformation Office. If you were to join any one of them, you'd help ensure these financial responsibilities are achieved. While seeing that RBL has the means to go on innovating and developing.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Chief Information Officer, and sitting as part of the Technology leadership team, we are looking for an exceptional candidate to work at a senior level to embed Technology & Data into the strategies and plans of teams across the organisation. You will lead a team of business analysts, project managers and business partners, and will provide the golden thread between organisational strategy and Technology–enabled transformation.

To be considered for this role, you will have great customer–facing skills, and be comfortable with overseeing major projects and programmes. You will have good experience of strategy, both at an IT level, and also an organisational level, and will be an experienced change manager. In this role you'll be working alongside highly skilled Project and Programme Managers, Analysts and Technical Specialists from our Technology, Data, and Transformation Management Office teams.

Please note this role is remote, but will require occasional travel (e.g., 4 to 6 days per month) to RBL's London HQ, and other offices as required.

As an inclusive employer, we welcome conversations on flexible working and any reasonable adjustments that may be required.

Diversity Statement

We believe that the compassion, understanding and service we show each, and every individual customer should be reflected in the way we all support, respect and include every individual who works with us.

It's because of this that we have strived hard to create a One Legion culture that we can all feel part of and succeed in. It's why we make sure that you have the opportunities you need to learn and develop. It's why we're invested in making RBL a truly inclusive place to work, where everyone can be themselves. It's why you're welcome, whoever you might be.

It's why we welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
