Are you a creative, intellectually curious, and enthusiastic graduate?

Join our two-year structured Brand & Marketing graduate programme designed to grow future leadership capability within the Group Brand & Marketing business units (UK & RLAM).

You'll rotate across various business units under three main pillars: B&M Strategy, Channels & Engagement, and Marketing, Value Proposition, and Take To Market Plans.

What’s in it for you?

Starting salary of £33,000 per annum plus bonus.
Generous pension (double matching, up to 14%) and life assurance (up to X8 salary)
28 days annual leave plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 days.
Private medical insurance, as well as 24/7 confidential access to health, legal and financial advice.
Great office facilities, with hybrid working and placement location allowances and support available.
Opportunity to join our inclusion networks, join events across the business and build your network.

What will you be doing?

Your two-year functional graduate programme will contribute towards Royal London's purpose and strategy outcomes. As part of the Brand & Marketing team, you will rotate five times over the two-year period across various Group Brand & Marketing business units (UK & RLAM). The exact placements will depend on the needs of the business at the time.

You will work collaboratively to build knowledge and exposure to the breadth of Royal London Group Brand & Marketing activities. With a structured development plan, you will take ownership and support key department activities, as well as a small portfolio of projects that allow Royal London to retain or create value for customers, adapt to changes in the environment, reduce risk, meet legal and regulatory requirements, and improve efficiencies and profitability.

This functional programme sits alongside other functional and cross-functional graduate programmes in place. You’ll come together with these other graduates to:

Receive targeted learning and development opportunities
Participate in group initiatives and events to better understand our strategy and key priorities across the business and to build your network
Work on overarching group projects

You’ll have a dedicated People Leader and Buddy to support with your development. On completion of the programme, you’ll move into a substantive role within B&M.

What skills and experience do I need?

University level graduate with a minimum of a 2.1 grade
You’ll be IT literate and comfortable analysing data on Excel
Excellent verbal and written English language skills, with the ability to build relationships and engage with stakeholders across the business.
You’ll be a good team player, whilst also being able to work independently and take ownership of projects.
Highly analytical, with critical thinking and problem solving.
Intellectually curious, adaptable to change and not afraid to share new ideas and question the status quo.

What else do I need to know?

Exact start date is to be confirmed; however, it is likely to be Monday 8 September 2025. You need to be available to start on that date.

Your application should include a short cover letter that states why you are suitable for the programme. Please include which should be the preferred location for interview and your placement.

At Royal London we believe your difference is our strength and our organisation benefits from the different perspectives that diversity brings. Studies have shown that people from under-represented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet every requirement. So, if you’re excited about this role but your past experience isn't a perfect fit with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway as you may be the right candidate for this or other opportunities.

Our expectation is that colleagues will come into the office for 50% of their time. This hybrid model is built around our mutual mindset, thinking about what is good for us as individuals (the ‘me’) and in the context of what is right for our customers, our colleagues and the wider Royal London Group (the ‘we’).
