**What skills are we looking for?**
- Experience in a customer focussed role, with hands on experience in a sales organisation, with a particular focus on customer invoicing.
- Able to identify and challenge assumed and embedded practices to improve standards and processes.
- Proven success of good stakeholder management, with the ability to build strong working relationships and collaborate effectively.
- The ability to prioritise, manage conflicting deadlines, work well under pressure and manage multiple tasks at once. Strong attention to detail.
- Good IT skills, including the ability to use all the main Microsoft packages (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and the ability to learn new systems.

Each and every one of our employees contributes to our progress and is supporting our work to beat cancer. We think that’s impressive.

In return, we make sure you are supported by a generous benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.

Our benefits package includes a substantial retirement plan, a generous and flexible leave allowance, discounts on anything from travel to technology, gym membership, and much more.

We review pay annually and aim to recognise individual performance and achievements.

We don’t forget people have lives outside of work too and so we actively encourage a flexible working culture.

Our work - from funding cutting-edge research to developing public policy - will change the world. It’s exciting to be part of our team.

**How do I apply?**There’s a place for everyone at Cancer Research UK. Our vision is to create a charity where everyone feels like they belong, benefits from and participates in, the work we do. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.
