We’re recruiting an Innovation and Product Development Manager (12-month fixed term contract) to deliver new fundraising products which will be capable of generating significant income to fund our lifesaving research.

This is a dual location role, with your working time split between your home and our London Office.

At the BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average.  The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.
