This exciting new role will fulfil a key function for CCT, as we enter a new five-year strategy. One of the main themes of this strategy is creativity - supporting creative new uses for our sites. To do so effectively will require the post-holder to lead a team charged with building on the success of our Regeneration and Enterprise activities, of recent years, and ensuring the learning from these is applied in the development of future initiatives and partnerships. With hundreds of churches and almost as many creative and enterprising ideas, the job of scrutinising these and working out how we can identify and support the most promising is a challenging and exciting task.

We are looking for a confident and credible leader, with the ability to inspire trust and work collaboratively to bring a strong commercial focus to the Trust’s work, ensuring that initiatives and partnerships are robustly and effectively developed and managed. You will be working closely with colleagues across the Trust to help embed an enterprising culture where ideas are encouraged and their viability assessed openly, robustly, and collaboratively.

The role will support the delivery of existing Regeneration and Enterprise initiatives and partnerships across our estate, in addition to supporting new initiatives and partnership opportunities that we implement. You will lead our internal processes and reporting, to identify and scrutinise the most promising of these opportunities, identified by the wider team. You will bring your expertise, and the resources of your team, to bear in assisting in the development, scrutiny and delivery of these, reviewing and monitoring their commercial performance.

This role will play a key role in capitalising on the successes of the Trust’s longstanding Regeneration programme, which has undertaken pioneering Regeneration projects which have addressed some of our most pressing conservation needs, had wide-ranging wider impacts, and developed new operating models for some of the churches in our care. In addition, it encompasses the work undertaken to develop new commercial income opportunities. Examples are our groundbreaking Champing™ initiative, as well as others such as filming, and other commercial partnerships, including for example those involved in the Van Gogh Immersive Experience, at our church at All Saint’s (Leicester).

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Data Operations Executive to join our Data Import Team in our wider Customer Engagement and Experience Team. This role is an integral part of the team who support the important work of the organisation as well as representing and delivering value to all our audiences, both internal and external.

In this role, you’ll get involved in a variety of important database activities — from handling large data imports and automated routines, working with personal and financial data, to making sure customer relationships are maintained by managing queries and interactions from different sources. You’ll be responsible for coding, resolving and importing bulk data exceptions into our Raiser’s Edge database using tools such as Message Broker ETL and ImportOmatic, as well as managing ad hoc manual data imports from platforms like Just Giving, Benevity and Everyclick.

You’ll use our CRM and other platforms to work with live data from our donors and supporters. This includes monitoring data feeds, downloading and uploading regular data files, and reporting any issues to the Data Import Manager. You’ll also play an active part in maintaining and improving data quality through regular housekeeping, data cleansing and updates, helping to ensure everything’s accurate, consistent and compliant with GDPR, Gift Aid regulations and internal policies.

As a key link between the Customer Experience Team and the database team, you’ll support positive customer experiences and help keep information flowing smoothly across the organisation. You’ll also assist with internal data requests, contribute to wider organisational projects and provide training and guidance on database processes to team members and other staff.

This role is fixed term for 12 months covering maternity leave.

What we want from you

We’re looking for a Data Operations Executive with good customer communications and a positive, proactive approach to team activities, problem-solving and time management.

Ideally, you’ll have experience working with a CRM database — Raiser’s Edge would be a bonus — and be confident inputting, processing and managing data accurately. Experience with import utilities like ImportOmatic or similar tools, along with an understanding of income processing and Gift Aid, would be an advantage. You’ll also have excellent attention to detail and be used to handling high volumes of work while maintaining accuracy and focus.

A good communicator, you’ll be confident explaining technical or data-related information to a range of audiences in a clear and professional way, both in writing and over the phone.

You’ll work closely with our experienced data professionals on exciting projects using new technology and digital channels, taking responsibility for daily and weekly activities while contributing to new initiatives and business objectives. A good team player, you’ll also be able to work on your own initiative.

You’ll help us to achieve our ambitious performance goals within the team, and as an organisation, supporting and improving the lives of all of those affected by or at risk of prostate cancer.

If you’re organised, good with data and enjoy working as part of a team, 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 Ally Ship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identity 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.

Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.
