About the role
At Macmillan Cancer Support, we're transforming the way we engage with people affected by cancer. Through a major investment in data, technology and customer engagement, we're building a modern audience ecosystem that will help us better understand our supporters, deliver more personalised experiences and ultimately raise more funds so we can do whatever it takes for people living with cancer.
We're looking for an experienced transformation leader to join us as the business lead for one of Macmillan's most ambitious change programmes. Acting as the voice of our Engagement Directorate, you'll ensure our audience strategy is translated into meaningful business outcomes and that new technologies, processes and ways of working are successfully embedded across the organisation.
This is not a technical delivery role. Instead, you'll be the person who connects strategy with execution, bringing together colleagues across Marketing, Product, Finance, Data and Technology to make sure our transformation delivers lasting impact. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping how we engage millions of supporters and people living with cancer for years to come.
What you'll be doing
As the operational business lead for our Customer & Income Management Programme, you'll:
- Lead the business transformation of a large-scale customer, marketing and CRM change programme.
- Represent the needs of our Marketing, Fundraising and Customer Care teams throughout programme design and delivery.
- Translate strategic audience and marketing priorities into clear business requirements, operating models and measurable outcomes.
- Drive the adoption of new customer engagement capabilities, ensuring our teams embrace new technologies, data and ways of working.
- Work in partnership with Product, Finance, Technology and Data teams to ensure solutions meet both customer needs and organisational objectives.
- Champion opportunities to improve customer journeys through personalisation, automation and data-led decision making.
- Lead business readiness, stakeholder engagement and change adoption across a complex, agile transformation programme.
- Develop roadmaps and implementation plans that balance innovation with an excellent customer experience.
- Establish measures of success, using insight and performance data to demonstrate business value and continuous improvement.
- Help build organisational capability in CRM, audience management, customer journeys and data-driven marketing.
