Senior Product Manager

Blood Cancer UK is looking for a Senior Product Manager for our website. Our website is already a crucial channel for giving information and support to people affected by blood cancer and raising money to fund research into new lifesaving treatments.

But there is huge potential for it to do much more, and we need a senior product manager to work collaboratively to set the priorities for improving it and be able to quickly deliver improvements to ensure it plays its part in helping us beat blood cancer sooner.

By putting these things in place, you will ensure the digital team can concentrate on the strategic website improvements that will, collectively, lead to a step change in how many people the website is reaching and how much money it is raising.

Our teams work hard every day to make a true difference in the lives of those affected by Blood Cancer.

Senior Research Impact Manager 

Up to £43,000 pro rata, permanent, part time (up to 0.8 FTE), plus generous benefits, London with some remote working

The Medical Research Foundation is searching for a Senior Research Impact Manager to shape and lead the evaluation of the impact of our funded research, to demonstrate the impact we are making in our strategy to fund the very best medical research to change lives. This is a key role within our organisation to monitor, evaluate and communicate our research internally and externally, and shape our research strategy based on the impact we are having.

Many of the diseases and conditions that affect human health have been cured or overcome as a result of medical research. But there will always be more to do. Although significant resources are being spent around the world developing exciting new treatments and therapies, there are areas of medical need that receive little or no support – and people’s lives that see no improvement. That’s where we step in.

The Medical Research Foundation is an independent charitable foundation. Formed by the Medical Research Council (MRC), we fund and support the most promising health research wherever we discover great opportunities that are not being pursued. We use our donations responsibly and ensure we make the greatest impact where it is most needed.

About the Role

To fund more of this research, we need to be able to persuade donors that what we do is impactful and that the funding that we provide makes a difference, as well as deliver on our strategy of funding research which is high need, low investment.  To do this we need to capture and report on the outputs and impact of the research that we support and present the data and tell the stories that demonstrate impact.  You will join our rapidly expanding team in our central London offices to provide leadership for our monitoring and evaluation processes and ensure that we have a sound evidence-base to support our funding schemes and of the outputs and impact of individual research projects.  You will be motivated to learn and develop your skills in those aspects of the role where you have less experience.

What you will do in the role

• develop and implement M&E systems and tools that align with our new Theory of Change and M&E framework to demonstrate the impact of medical research funding calls and schemes.
• optimise the use of the existing Researchfish and end-of-grant reporting tools.
• optimise other data collection points to support M&E e.g. applications.
• develop a schedule of M&E activities and reviews and lead our future evaluation strategy.
• oversee data collection and analysis
• keep abreast of tools and methods for M&E and data visualisation, and be a source of expertise in this area.
• lead on impact reporting; write and contribute to reports; present to our Board of Trustees and wider external audiences.

What you can bring to the role

• experience of implementation or management of monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment and reporting, ideally within medical research
• data collection and collation skills using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies
