At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

At Cancer Research UK, we’re united by one purpose: to beat cancer. Every day, our passionate professionals push boundaries—but we need to go further, faster. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a strategic, innovative, audience-focused product and proposition expert to help lead and evolve our Legacy Giving Portfolio, joining our market leading team. You will work closely with the Proposition Head to shape compelling supporter experiences, drive value, and accelerate our growth opportunities to deliver on our promise to fund life-saving research.

In our vibrant, collaborative environment, you’ll uncover new ideas, build meaningful connections, and grow your skills in ways you never imagined.

You’ll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are.

What will I be doing?

• Lead the development of multi-year, insight-led proposition plans that grow audiences and deepen engagement.

• Collaborate across teams—including Strategy, Marketing, Digital, and Technology—to deliver seamless, end-to-end supporter journeys.

• Manage budgets, P&Ls, and supplier relationships to meet performance targets and maximise impact.

• Champion agile, audience-first thinking and foster a culture of experimentation and inclusivity.

• Translate data and insights into innovative, commercially valuable propositions that differentiate us in a competitive market.

• Embed a test-and-learn culture, encouraging rapid prototyping, fast failure, and continuous improvement.

What are we looking for?

• Proven experience growing and developing commercially successful, audience-centric propositions.

• A strategic thinker with a strong digital and insight-led approach to innovation and service design.

• Excellent communicator and influencer, able to lead through complexity and ambiguity.

• Passionate about working flexibly, cross-functional collaboration, and iterative development.

• Experience in Legacy giving is a plus.

• A natural collaborator with a passion for audience-centric innovation and transformation.

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

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.
