At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer. 

We’re looking for an experienced and commercially minded Integrated Marketing Senior Manager/Lead to join Cancer Research UK’s Marketing, Fundraising and Engagement team. In this pivotal role, you’ll act as the senior interface with our media and creative agency partners, ensuring delivery that is on scope, on budget and to the high standards our brand demands.

Working at the heart of a fast-paced, collaborative environment, you’ll play a key role in shaping how we deliver campaigns that inspire action and drive impact. Every day will bring new challenges, from managing complex agency relationships to optimising performance across media and creative output.

You’ll be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are, and together, you’ll help ensure every pound spent delivers maximum impact for our cause.

What will I be doing? 

• Owning the relationship with our media and creative agency partners, ensuring work is delivered to scope, cost and quality expectations

• Managing annual scopes of work, challenging scope creep and maintaining clear accountability for what sits within agreed delivery

• Overseeing media and creative spend, maintaining a single source of truth and reconciling costs against approved scope

• Leading on agency performance, ensuring output meets agreed briefs, timelines and CRUK quality standards

• Acting as the senior operational contact for agency stakeholders, resolving issues and managing delivery risk across campaigns

• Building and embedding strong commercial governance, including cost tracking, audits and contract management frameworks

What are we looking for? 

• Significant experience managing media and creative agencies within complex organisations, either client-side or agency-side

• Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing multi-million-pound budgets, scopes of work and cost frameworks

• Deep understanding of media planning, buying and creative production processes, including associated cost drivers

• Excellent analytical and numerical skills, with advanced Excel capability to track spend and analyse variance

• Ability to build and manage senior stakeholder relationships, influencing across internal teams and external partners

• Proven experience setting up and improving processes, combining strategic thinking with operational delivery

Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.

Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination   

Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism    

Human: Act to have a positive impact on people   

Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively 

We’re looking for people who can believe in and embody these organisation values and can use them to drive forward progress against our mission to beat cancer.

If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we’d still love to hear from you.
