Who We Are Looking For
Breakthrough T1D is the UK's leading type 1 diabetes charity, dedicated to funding research, advocating for change, and supporting the T1D community. We're looking for a Database Manager.
Data sits at the heart of our ambitious organisational strategy.

Acting as the organisation's subject matter expert for CRM, you will provide expert guidance to colleagues and drive best practice in data management. You'll be responsible for the ongoing development, optimisation, and governance of the organisation's CRM, ensuring supporter data is accurate, accessible, secure, and effectively used to support fundraising, engagement, and operational objectives.
This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of data at Breakthrough T1D, establishing strong foundations for effective data management, governance and operational excellence across the organisation.
