Legacy Marketing Officer
Legacy giving sits at the heart of long-term impact, and this role is about shaping how thousands of supporters choose to leave that lasting mark. As a Legacy Marketing Officer, you’ll help design and deliver thoughtful, insight-led supporter journeys that feel personal, meaningful, and well-timed, even at scale. From first interest through to long-term engagement, your work will ensure supporters feel informed, valued, and connected to the difference they can make. It’s a role that blends creativity with structure, where strong ideas are brought to life through well-planned campaigns that genuinely resonate.
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 be working across a busy, collaborative fundraising environment where no two days look the same. A key part of your work will be turning strategy into action by building campaigns, shaping messaging with agency partners, and making sure everything is delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard. You’ll use insight and performance data to understand what’s working, what isn’t, and where there’s opportunity to improve, always looking to refine journeys so they perform better for supporters and for income growth. Just as importantly, you’ll help ensure in-memory giving is handled with care, sensitivity, and clarity, supporting some of the most important moments in a supporter’s relationship with us.
This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and building strong relationships across a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll work closely with colleagues across legacy administration, data, fundraising teams, and external partners to keep everything aligned and moving in the same direction. There’s plenty of room to develop here too, whether that’s deepening your understanding of legacy marketing, strengthening your campaign delivery skills, or building confidence in using insight to shape decisions. If you’re motivated by purposeful work, enjoy delivering campaigns that genuinely matter, and want to be part of a team building something long-term and meaningful, this is a space where you can make a real impact.
