At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer. We’re a collective force, tackling cancer on all fronts to save and improve lives. We fund pioneering research, we provide reliable and accessible information, we influence policy, and we encourage positive behaviour change. We are a passionate team of professionals driven by purpose, striving to accelerate breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment. We are the world’s biggest charitable funder of cancer research raising on average £640m a year.


As we expand our efforts, we’re recruiting an inspiring, senior fundraising leader to join one of the most successful philanthropic fundraising teams in the UK as Associate Director of Philanthropy, Translation & Innovation Lead.


This is a new role for Cancer Research UK, focused on driving fundraising strategy and performance for the Translation and Innovation campaign priority with a particular focus on our Children’s and Young People’s programme. You will be responsible for delivering the fundraising strategy and plan for Translation & Innovation as part of the ambitions of the £400m More Research, Less Cancer campaign.


The Associate Director of Philanthropy will provide visionary leadership to 3 direct reports and a broader team of 11 fundraising professionals across the Major Gifts, Leadership Giving, Trust and Foundations teams, fostering and encouraging a culture of collaboration, innovation, excellence and high performance.


Translation and Innovation focuses on the critical work of translating cancer research and discoveries into tests and treatments that change the lives of people affected by cancer. Without translation and innovation, the research breakthroughs that our scientists make cannot benefit patients. Our unique position in the cancer landscape gives us the ability to catalyse change. By bringing together organisations, businesses and global experts, we can nurture innovative ideas to overcome barriers and accelerate interventions.


You will be a values-driven leader with the ability to work at the most senior levels internally and externally. We’re looking for someone who wants to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple and complex projects. With a significant track record in major gifts, you will have a demonstrable record of building relationships and engaging with philanthropists and high net-worth individuals.


This position is an incredible opportunity to lead an ambitious and innovative team and to make an impact in your work every day, helping to ensure we can change lives for the better. If you are attracted by the scale of the ambition here, please get in touch. We hope to hear from you
