The Royal British Legion is undertaking an ambitious and exciting Events programme. This programme includes the annual activity for which the Legion is well-known (eg. The Festival of Remembrance) and also a busy calendar of Commemorative Events, which are to be funded by fines levied by the Government (LIBOR fund). These events range from regional community activities to plans on a national and international scale (eg. VE Day 70).

You will be responsible for managing all aspects of programme delivery, ensuring that all events are delivered on time and on budget. This will involve both supervision of the whole programme and oversight of its constituent parts; you will also need to retain a long-term view to ensure that each individual project is on track. Excellent communication with other departments in the organisation will be required to ensure that the programme remains a cross-pillar effort. You will also need to maintain strong partnerships with all stakeholders and will lead on relationships with key delivery partners, such as Government departments.

You will have a good track record of successfully managing dynamic projects in a busy environment. You will have the financial, communication and management skills necessary to execute the role efficiently whilst also developing and improving current ways of working. You will have a positive, can-do attitude and enjoy working in a team.
