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.

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. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for agile working. All contributing to a strong work/life balance.
