Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is the world’s largest Charity dedicated to fighting over 200 types of cancer. We think big, we are market leading, ambitious and innovative. Our vision for three in four people to survive the disease in the next 20 years means that we need to accelerate everything that we do. Through our cancer prevention initiatives, scientific research and fundraising - we have a passion to do things better and faster.
- This is fantastic opportunity to make a tangible impact on one of the five objectives in Cancer Research UK’s long-term strategy - “Engage: We inspire millions to join with us in our mission”. CRUK has designed a transformation to better harness data and digital technology to deliver more relevant, trusted frictionless experiences for our audiences and in turn drive contribution growth. This role exists to ensure the delivery of this transformation (where work is matrixed and delivered across multiple directorates, teams and initiatives) is driven, remains on track to achieve objectives, and is appropriately governed.
- You’ll be experienced in delivering complex cross-org programmes using an Agile methodology and you’ll have extensive experience of matrix management and leading and motivating others without directly managing them. You’ll have excellent communication and negotiation skills, building a rapport across teams, and your ability to achieve impact through influencing and facilitating connections, as well as being able to combat resistance will mean that you’ll be a role-model for change.

Key Accountabilities:
- Work in partnership with the Head of Architecture, Lead Product Owner, Business Change Lead and Lead Business Owner, as the key leaders managing and guiding the overall transformation (matrix team)-
- Work closely with senior stakeholders, supporting cross-organisational alignment and maintaining focus on driving the transformation-
- Ensure coordinated delivery, working with leaders and teams to drive pace and manage dependencies, whilst maintaining alignment with overall transformation objectives, design and roadmap-
- Actively manage RAID (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions), ensure clear accountabilities, supporting resolution, and where needed escalating through governance-
- Establish and drive governance processes, keeping senior stakeholders appropriately appraised of transformation performance, driving decisions and actions that address significant barriers to transformation.-
- Drive and coordinate development of investment and resource plans, ensuring the Engage transformation has the capacity and capability that it needs to succeed-
- Oversee the day-to-day work of PMO team member(s) who will support with PMO activities-
- Support the development of a positive environment for teams involved in transformation efforts which recognises success, develops and drives high performance and rewards results, and promotes equality and diversityEssential Skills & Experience:
- Significant relevant experience of running highly complex cross organisational programmes and/or transformations-
- Mindset that prioritises the achievement of business objectives through delivery of change (technology, data and business)-
- Ability to focus on the content (coordinating the solution and its delivery, providing senior level advice, looking forward and spotting the less obvious problems, openly raising difficult questions) in addition to the process (controls, reports, plans)-
- Proven experience of delivering using Agile mindset with current knowledge of latest delivery tools and techniques to optimise delivery for CRUK-
- Highly organised and persistent, with the ability to overcome obstacles and resistance-
- Well-developed political awareness and excellent communication skills, including influencing and negotiating with stakeholders at all levels of seniority-
- Demonstrates a learning mindset, and ability to embed a culture of continuous improvement-
- Resilient and flexible to respond to changing needs and unforeseen circumstancesWhat will I gain?

Without you we wouldn’t be able to achieve our aim of seeing 3 in 4 people survive cancer by 2034. So, we want to reward you in as many ways as possible. Our benefits package includes discounts on anything from travel to technology, generous holiday allowance, gym membership, and much more. We want to ensure that you have the best work/life balance possible, so we actively encourage a flexible working culture for all of our roles wherever possible. Depending on your role, options for flexibility could include homeworking, reduced or flexi-hours, job shares, job splits, and core hours. For the majority of our office-based roles you’ll only be required to work from a specific location for
