Department: ? HR, Chief Operating Office 

Hours: Full-time (we're happy to discuss flexible working arrangements)  

Location: ?Stratford, London? ?Office-based with high flexibility (typically 1-2 days per week in the office)?  

Closing date: 23:59 on 16th November

??This vacancy may close earlier if a high volume of applications are received or once a suitable candidate is found?  

At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.  

??We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That's why we're looking for someone talented, someone determined, someone like you. ?  

We have an exciting opportunity for a delivery-focussed Head of Organisational Development to join our brand new team.

In this role, you'll establish and lead the Organisational Development consulting team to diagnose organisational needs in order to design and deliver holistic solutions across multiple directorates and sites. You'll run a flexible pool of OD consultants and a clear intake/portfolio, partnering with HRBPs and CoEs to prioritise the highest-value work, sequence delivery, and make disciplined choices about where to deploy capacity for the greatest impact.

This is a role for a senior OD leader who can set clear practice, build confidence with stakeholders, and deliver results across office, lab and retail/field contexts. You'll bring coherence to how OD is commissioned and delivered, develop practical tools and playbooks, and create the conditions for change to take hold in day-to-day work.

In a supportive working environment, you'll discover something new every day, whether it's a new connection, a new method of engagement or a talent you never knew you had.  You'll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are. 

 

What will be some of the main responsibilities?  

  • Leads a high-performing internal consulting team, managing workload, priorities, and capacity in partnership with HR Business Partners and Centres of Expertise.

  • Sets and maintains high standards for Organisational Development consulting, using playbooks and quality reviews tailored to different working environments, including multiple settings.

  • Oversees the diagnosis, design, and delivery of complex Organisational Development interventions for the Directorates, such as operating model changes, team development, and capability building.

  • Supports the work of the Centre of Expertise by designing and delivering organisation-wide interventions to deliver the People Plan priorities.

  • Coordinates blended delivery teams and external partners, ensuring timely, cost-effective delivery and strong outcomes.

  • Tracks and reports the impact of Organisational Development interventions, capturing lessons learned and feeding improvements into CRUK's frameworks and toolkits.

  • Coaches leaders and teams through change, building confidence and capability to sustain improvements over time.

  • Manages and develops the Organisational Development consulting team, building a diverse pipeline of talent and ensuring inclusive, ethical, and psychologically safe practice.

  • Uses strong stakeholder management and communication skills to influence decisions, secure sponsorship, and align delivery with strategic priorities.

What skills are we looking for?  

  • Proven Organisational Development consulting experience in complex organisations, with strong judgement across diagnosis and design for culture and team-effectiveness challenges.

  • Team effectiveness expertise, with a track record diagnosing team dynamics and operating rhythms, strengthening purpose, roles and accountabilities, decision-making and cross-boundary collaboration.

  • Portfolio & service leadership experience: running intake/triage, prioritising against strategy, balancing capacity/skills, managing interdependencies and setting clear service standards. 

  • Scale and quality assurance capability: turning designs into reusable playbooks/briefs with acceptance criteria; running proportionate Quality Analysis and learning loops to improve methods over time 

  • Drives change adoption by embedding new ways of working, using sponsorship, stakeholder engagement, communications, and reinforcement strategies. 

 What will I gain?  

Each and every one of our employees contributes to our progress and is supporting our work to beat cancer. We think that's impressive.   

In return, we make sure you are supported by a generous benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.   

Our benefits package includes a substantial retirement plan, a generous and flexible leave allowance, discounts on anything from travel to technology, gym membership, and much more.   

We don't forget people have lives outside of work too and so we actively encourage a flexible working culture.  

Our work - from funding cutting-edge research to developing public policy - will change the world. It's exciting to be part of our team.
