At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We're looking for a Product Manager to help shape and grow compelling fundraising and engagement propositions that inspire audiences, deepen supporter relationships and deliver long-term value for the charity.
Working collaboratively across Marketing, Fundraising & Engagement and with a wide range of stakeholders, you'll use audience insight, innovation and commercial thinking to develop and optimise products and experiences that support our mission.
While this role will work across a broad portfolio, it will also have a particular focus on supporting the development and growth of our events fundraising products, helping create engaging experiences that motivate people to take action and raise vital funds for life-saving research.
What will I be doing?
- Supporting the development and delivery of the product strategy for our events fundraising portfolio, creating experiences that attract, engage and retain supporters.
- Working with the Senior Proposition Manager to create and implement innovative, audience-led product and proposition plans that drive long-term growth.
- Collaborating across Marketing, Digital, Technology, Data & Insights and Strategy teams to deliver seamless supporter journeys and compelling campaigns.
- Using audience insight, market trends and performance data to identify opportunities for product improvement, innovation and growth.
- Helping shape product roadmaps and priorities to ensure propositions are continuously optimised and future-focused.
- Building strong stakeholder relationships and fostering a collaborative culture that drives shared ownership and successful outcomes.
