Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity

The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity is the principal charity of the Royal Navy, with the clear vision of a world where our sailors, marines and their families are supported for life. Our beneficiaries lie at the heart of our purpose, and we are relentlessly focused on their needs, distributing millions of pounds annually to military charities which care for the children, families and veterans of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

The last decade has been a strong period of growth for the charity, and we have a clear view of how our role as a fundraising and grant-making charity will build on our strong foundations. However, the backdrop of the cost of living crisis, alongside the increasing complexity of needs faced by our beneficiaries, highlight the vital importance and urgency of our work.

We are looking for a Chief Executive who can lead us in achieving continued and further impact on behalf of our beneficiaries and the challenges and opportunities they face. We believe that those who have served this country deserve our support in return and we are seeking a strategic leader who feels the same passion as our dedicated team and Board of Trustees has for our work and charity.

The successful candidate will have clear empathy for our cause, along with a demonstrable track record of successful general management at an organisation of similar scale and complexity. You will be an excellent relationship builder, with the skill to persuade donors and our many stakeholders to support our work, as well as the emotional intelligence and resilience to lead in the third sector. If this sounds like you, then we very much look forward to hearing from you.
