About The Role

If you are passionate about making a real difference to the lives of veterans and their families, we are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our award-winning Poppy Appeal team in the South East & South West Midlands. As a Regional Poppy Appeal Manager, you will play a key role in driving the success of the Poppy Appeal, ensuring it continues to inspire and mobilise our incredible network of volunteers.

In this exciting role, you'll be responsible for developing and executing strategic plans that align with our Poppy Appeal and Fundraising strategy. You'll oversee regional budgets, ensuring we meet our net contribution targets, while sharing your insights and feedback from regional activities to our leadership team. Your contribution will be integral to maintaining the Poppy Appeal's prestigious reputation and ongoing success.

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 also manage financial processes, contribute to budget cycles, and support the development of long-term income pipelines. Building strong relationships with local stakeholders, managing risk, and ensuring compliance will be at the heart of your work. Working closely with internal teams, you will ensure our collective impact reaches new heights across the region.

As a leader, you'll motivate and develop your team through regular one-on-one meetings, team gatherings, and effective performance management, all while embodying the values of the Royal British Legion. If you have experience in people management, team development, budget oversight, performance monitoring, community fundraising, and event management, along with strong IT skills and excellent communication abilities, we'd love to hear from you. Join us and become part of a truly inspiring cause!

Here at RBL, we aim to support our people and their wellbeing, with a package including generous paid holiday allowance and pension scheme contributions, and a range of optional benefits and discounts.

You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there using our collaboration tools to work with colleagues, with occasional travel (incl. for monthly team meetings). This particular role will require a full UK driving licence. Our ideal candidate will be living in the Midlands.
