About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in a high\-performing fundraising team driven to raise as much as possible to support our veterans — now and in the future.

Your work will directly fuel our long\-term partnership strategy, helping us reach more veterans through sustainable, impactful income.

You will take ownership of developing and delivering an ambitious acquisition strategy to secure high\-value workplace and impact\-level supporters. Using flagship campaigns such as The Great Tommy Sleep Out, alongside other RBVE\-led events, you will engage new audiences and build a robust pipeline of prospects.

Working collaboratively with the Great Tommy Sleep Out Team, as well as colleagues across the Community and Corporate Fundraising teams, you will ensure as many workplaces as possible can support RBVE — whether by taking part, fundraising, or sponsoring our events.

Once engaged, you will identify and introduce key supporters to the Corporate Team for deeper relationship development and long\-term partnership growth.

• Collaborate across teams — Work closely with Community, Corporate, and Event teams to drive participation and sponsorship.


• Support partnership handover — Identify high\-value supporters and transition them to the Corporate Team for long\-term stewardship.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Experienced in fundraising, business development, or partnership acquisition


• A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships with senior stakeholders


• Strategic, proactive, and motivated by ambitious income targets


• Collaborative, organised, and comfortable working across multiple teams


• Passionate about supporting veterans and delivering meaningful impact

You’ll be part of a supportive, mission\-driven team where your work directly contributes to improving the lives of veterans. This role offers the chance to shape a growing income stream, lead on high\-profile campaigns, and make a tangible difference.
