Job description

About CoppaFeel!

CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.

We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.

Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.

The Role

The Senior Challenge Events Manager maternity cover role is crucial to ensure a smooth delivery of a busy portfolio of challenge events in 2026, forecast to bring in £2.8million - plus some planning for 2027. We need someone to step into this role to continue driving our growth strategy – where we are one year into a three year plan. This department’s work is vital for the continual diversification of our income, through expanding our portfolio of challenge events and recruitment of new participants. This department includes all of our third party challenge events, including the London marathon, as well as our bespoke ‘CoppaTrek!’ programme.

Leading a team of five, the Senior Challenge Events Manager will need to hit the ground running to oversee all events booked in, providing hands-on support for these events. Unusually, the Bespoke Challenge Events Manager (the manager covering the work on treks at CoppaFeel!, a direct report for this role) will also be a maternity cover role for the same period of time. This elevates the need for clean, organised and focused delivery of our events.

The Senior Challenge Events Manager will also need to represent the challenge events team internally to integrate them into the wider organisational goals, contributing to a fundraising culture at CoppaFeel!.

In addition to overseeing the delivery of 2026, the Senior Challenge Events Manager will need to prepare and plan for 2027, and work with other teams to successfully launch them towards the end of 2026. They will be required to create the budget for 2027’s events including all phased income and expenditure.

As this is an events role, you will be required to attend events out of hours and can take TOIL according to our policy. This includes attending multi day treks which we host both in the UK and abroad. In 2026, there will be three multi day treks (June, July and September – one in UK and two abroad) and two One Day treks (on weekends in June and September). There will be many challenge events in the Spring and Autumn seasons. Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to travel and stay away from home for up to 9 days at a time. The benefit being you get to see some incredible parts of the world and meet amazing people.

In terms of the office, it is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office two days per week.

This is a fixed term contract for 12 months.
