What the job involves
We’re seeking an Email Marketing Officer to join our Integrated Marketing and Media team. In this role, you’ll manage the day-to-day running of our email and SMS platform, making sure every message is engaging, accessible, and delivers real impact for our supporters. You'll make sure we're targeting the right supporters, with the right comms, at the right time.
You’ll work closely with teams across Prostate Cancer UK to help shape their messages for email, offering best practice advice, guidance and training where needed. Day to day, you’ll review content to identify opportunities for improvement, and write or edit copy that is clear, engaging and aligned with our tone of voice. You'll work closely with the team to help build compelling email campaigns and use analytics tools to monitor performance and suggest ways we can improve engagement, loyalty and drive actions and income.
As part of the Digital Marketing and Channels team, you’ll collaborate with colleagues across web, social media and strategic communications to ensure our owned channels work seamlessly together. You’ll support teams in making the best use of email marketing, help roll out new features and capabilities within the platform, and play a key role in improving how we communicate with our warm supporter audience.
Please note internally this role is known as Digital Channels Officer – Email.
What we want from you
We’re looking for someone with solid experience in digital marketing, particularly email and SMS marketing, either in-house or at an agency. You’ll be confident planning, writing and building campaigns that engage a specific audience and encourage meaningful action.
You’ll have experience using email marketing platforms (ideally Upland Adestra, though experience with tools such as MailChimp or DotDigital would also be valuable). A good understanding of campaign analytics, testing and optimisation is essential, along with the ability to turn performance data into clear recommendations.
You’ll be an excellent communicator and a brilliant writer, able to create clear, punchy and engaging content — from compelling emails to concise text messages. You’ll also be confident supporting colleagues across the organisation, explaining best practice and helping others feel more confident using digital channels.
In this role, you’ll need to manage priorities effectively and work well under tight deadlines. You’ll enjoy collaborating with others, stay up to date with the latest trends in email marketing and the charity sector, and be motivated by the opportunity to help us build stronger relationships with our supporters.
If you’re passionate about email marketing, enjoy using data and creativity to improve performance, and want to help drive positive change for men, we’d love to hear from you.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
