At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

We're a collective force, tackling cancer on all fronts to save and improve lives. We fund pioneering research, we provide reliable and accessible information, we influence policy, and we encourage positive behaviour change. We are a passionate team of professionals driven by purpose, striving to accelerate breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment. We are the world's biggest charitable funder of cancer research raising on average £640m a year.

As we expand our efforts, we're recruiting an inspiring, strategic leader to join our Philanthropy Directorate as Head of Philanthropy Intelligence, Planning & Performance. This pivotal role will shape the future of philanthropic fundraising through data-driven excellence, insightful strategy, and empowered team leadership.

As a senior member of the Philanthropy Operations team, you'll lead the charge by embedding intelligence-led thinking across the directorate-driving innovation, performance, and long-term donor engagement. From prospect development and portfolio management to deep analytics and strategic planning, your leadership will be instrumental in delivering transformational gifts and campaign success.

This role also plays a central part in delivering our ambitious £400 million More Research, Less Cancer campaign-accelerating life-saving cancer research and unlocking transformational gifts for Cancer Research UK.

What will I be doing?

  • Provide strategic leadership to the Prospect Development and Insight & Reporting teams, shaping their direction, plans, and delivery.

  • Deliver proactive insight, analysis, and intelligence to inform decision-making and strengthen strategic development.

  • Oversee the annual business planning process, ensuring robust monitoring, delivery, and evaluation frameworks.

  • Partner with fundraising leadership to support portfolio and performance management, including oversight of top donor relationships.

  • Partner with senior leaders across the directorate to develop, refine, and implement strategic plans, ensuring intelligence and insight are embedded throughout.

  • Oversee and champion the directorate-wide embedding of the new CRM (Salesforce), ensuring business readiness and alignment with future growth.

  • Support the development of infrastructure to enable international fundraising expansion in line with CRUK's evolving Global Strategy.

What skills are we looking for?

  • Proven senior leadership experience in complex, matrixed organisations.

  • Expertise in philanthropic strategy, prospect development and research, data insight, and performance reporting.

  • Experience in budget development, forecasting, and financial modelling.

  • Skilled in stakeholder engagement and strategic influence across all levels.

  • Track record of delivering ambitious outcomes through people, data, and process.

  • Strong understanding of major gift fundraising and donor lifecycle principles.

  • Fluent in CRM systems and data platforms (e.g. Salesforce, PowerBi, Excel).

  • Emotionally intelligent communicator with a collaborative, proactive mindset.

  • Resilient, adaptable, and committed to operational excellence.

Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.

Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination  

Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism   

Human: Act to have a positive impact on people  

Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively

We're looking for people who can believe in and embody these organisation values and can use them to drive forward progress against our mission to beat cancer.
