Pancreatic Cancer UK has expanded rapidly in the last few years, significantly increasing both its own profile and that of the pancreatic cancer cause. The charity has proactively campaigned for earlier diagnosis and significantly faster treatment of the disease - generating major media coverage, increasing our social media footprint and bringing many more supporters to the charity. Pancreatic Cancer UK is firmly positioned as the national charity fighting pancreatic cancer on all fronts: support, information, campaigning and research.

But at the same time, the majority of those newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer aren’t aware of the organisation, and less than 1 in 4 affected use our comprehensive information services and Support Line. And while our profile amongst Health Care and Medical Research professionals is reasonably high, we know we can do better. More marketing support is needed to enable us to reach the people that need support – and to reach the health professionals that can help us reach them. In addition, our marketing needs to move from a historically product led stance to one that is audience led.

To address these challenges, we are seeking a highly organised Senior Marketing Manager to plan and run our integrated marketing campaigns and day-day marketing activity.

This is an extremely exciting opportunity to make a real difference to a rapidly developing charity and an important, compelling but under-developed cause.
