What the job involves

We’re looking for a Customer Research Manager to join us on a fixed-term contract to cover parental leave for 12 months. This is a key role in our Customer Analysis and Insight team, helping us build deeper, more meaningful relationships with our supporters and with men with prostate cancer.

You’ll lead on quantitative and qualitative research projects, uncovering insights that shape how we communicate, fundraise, and deliver services. Expect to work on campaign evaluations, audience segmentation, and product development, as well as managing our survey platform and Insights Library. You’ll collaborate across teams to guide market and competitor research and manage a customer research analyst, ensuring our work delivers value for money.

This role is all about turning information into action, helping us understand what motivates our audiences and making sure those insights improve everything we do. You will also lead stakeholder engagement, using your influencing skills to explain the ‘why’ behind our insights and help others see the value of customer research in decision-making.

You will be part of a passionate team that’s focused on making a real difference for people affected by prostate cancer.

What we want from you

You are a research specialist with a strong track record in managing both quantitative and qualitative projects - from design and methodology to delivery and insight communication. You know how to turn complex data into clear, actionable recommendations and are confident presenting findings to a range of audiences.

You are curious, collaborative, and commercially minded, with a proactive approach and a passion for customer insight. You have worked with tools like Displayr, TGI, Toluna, Tableau or similar, and you understand the charity fundraising landscape.

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

We are all expected to be in the office (SE1 2QN) 4 days a month (pro-rata for part time colleagues) to work with and alongside colleagues in our immediate team and beyond to build connections and strong working relationships. We value that face-to-face time for relationships, projects and decisions.
