Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

As Product and Delivery Manager, you'll play a key role in helping us deliver technology that supports Prostate Cancer UK’s mission. You'll be responsible for shaping the direction of our internal products and systems, making sure they continue to meet the needs of colleagues across the organisation and provide long-term value. Working closely with stakeholders, you'll help identify priorities, assess opportunities for improvement, and ensure technology investment supports our strategic goals.

You'll lead the planning and delivery of technology projects and enhancements, turning business needs into clear, achievable plans. From managing product roadmaps and delivery schedules to coordinating resources and tracking progress, you'll ensure work is delivered effectively and to a high standard. You'll oversee the full delivery lifecycle, helping teams navigate challenges and keeping stakeholders informed along the way. You’ll also be acting as line manager to a team of three direct reports.

Working across a range of products, systems and data services, you'll bring together colleagues, technical specialists and external partners to achieve shared outcomes. Acting as a bridge between business and technology teams, you'll build strong relationships, encourage collaboration, and help create a clear understanding of priorities, risks and opportunities.

You'll also help drive continuous improvement across our technology services and ways of working. This includes identifying opportunities to modernise systems, improve processes, and make better use of data, automation and emerging technologies such as AI. Through your work, you'll help ensure our technology remains effective, sustainable and ready to support the organisation's future ambitions.

What we want from you

We're looking for someone with experience of managing digital products, technology delivery, or related projects, who can confidently balance day-to-day delivery with longer-term planning. You'll be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, coordinating multiple priorities and helping teams deliver valuable outcomes. Experience working with CRM platforms, particularly within the charity sector, would be an advantage.

You'll have a strong understanding of how technology products and services are developed and delivered, including experience of Agile ways of working and the software development lifecycle. You'll be able to work effectively with technical specialists, understanding the opportunities and constraints involved in developing, integrating and supporting systems, while helping non-technical colleagues make informed judgements.

Strong communication, relationship-building and problem-solving skills are essential. You'll be able to bring together different perspectives, translating complex information into clear and accessible language, and helping teams navigate challenges where there may not be an obvious solution. Experience leading or coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, including external suppliers and partners, will help you succeed in this role.

We're keen to hear from people who enjoy improving services, identifying opportunities and turning ideas into practical action. Experience contributing to resource planning, prioritisation and delivery reporting would be beneficial, alongside familiarity with modern digital delivery environments and release processes. Above all, you'll be motivated by the chance to make a meaningful difference through the effective use of technology. 

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer. 

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs. Due to the nature of this role, we would expect the postholder to be in the office three times per week.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
