Job description

Are you an experienced events leader with a passion for creating exceptional experiences that inspire generosity and change lives?

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity is entering an exciting period of transformational growth and we’re looking for a talented Senior Special Events Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our high-value fundraising events.

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to lead and evolve a dynamic portfolio of special events that bring together supporters, philanthropists, and partners to raise vital funds for The Royal Marsden Hospital, supporting world-leading cancer care, research, and patient support.

From flagship charity-led events to high-profile committee and partner initiatives such as The Ever After Garden, The RM Cup Golf Day, and Recital for Research, you will drive innovation, maximise income, and deliver outstanding supporter experiences that deepen engagement and long-term relationships.

You’ll lead a high-performing team, work closely with senior stakeholders and volunteers, and play a key role in delivering the Charity’s ambitious five-year strategy, making a tangible difference to cancer patients and their families.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading the strategy and delivery of a high-value events programme, ensuring exceptional quality and impact
  • Driving income growth and innovation through new and existing events
  • Building and nurturing senior relationships with volunteers, committees, donors and partners
  • Managing, motivating and developing a talented events team
  • Overseeing budgets, ensuring strong financial performance and value for money
  • Collaborating across the organisation to create compelling, meaningful donor experiences

About you

You’ll be a proactive and inspiring leader who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment. You’ll bring:

  • Proven experience delivering high-value fundraising or special events
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop teams
  • Outstanding stakeholder management, including experience working with VIPs and senior volunteers
  • Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and financial acumen
  • A passion for delivering impact and building meaningful supporter relationships

Why join us?

At The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, your work will directly support one of the world’s leading cancer centres, helping to fund pioneering research, state-of-the-art equipment, and the very best patient environments.

This is more than an events role, it’s an opportunity to create memorable experiences that drive real change and be part of a collaborative, ambitious team committed to improving the lives of people affected by cancer.

Inclusion matters

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.

  Ready to make an impact?
Apply now and help us create events that inspire, connect, and transform lives.
