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.

What skills and experience do I need?
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’).
