About us
At Macmillan you'll find talented people working together to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer. We're going all out to find even better ways to help even more people who need our support. Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions.
Our organisational strategy sets out how we'll fight even harder to make every pound raised count for even more. With your help, we'll transform cancer care for good.
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Research Insight Analyst to lead the design and delivery of research within our Insight & Performance division – designing and managing research to produce customer, market, and trend insights that add to add to Macmillan’s structured evidence base and maximise our impact on people with cancer. We are looking for someone who can start in September.
While Senior Analysts work across organisational priorities as needed, you will primarily be part of a multidisciplinary group focusing on our Engagement Directorate. This includes working closely with teams across Fundraising, Marketing, Innovation, and the services we provide directly to people living with cancer. You will work with research, evaluation, business intelligence, and data experts, to deliver against key research and insight focus areas for Macmillan, prioritising effort where potential return and impact is greatest.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
