At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

Cancer Grand Challenges are looking for a dynamic, results driven Project Manager to manage the end-to-end delivery of a range of medium to large change projects or programmes associated with improving the delivery of the initiative.

In this exciting new role, you will be the driving force for existing and new projects, leading on core elements of the initiative in relation to governance, strategy development and finance.

About Cancer Grand Challenges

Cancer Grand Challenges is a global funding initiative founded in 2020 by the two largest funders of cancer research in the world: Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the US ().

Our unique partnership has created an exciting opportunity to bring together the collective insight and expertise of CRUK and NCI and will enable the initiative to scale significantly over the coming years. Cancer Research UK will deliver the initiative on behalf of the partners.

For Cancer Grand Challenges, our mission is to empower the global cancer research community to come together, think differently and solve cancer's toughest challenges, to transform outcomes for people affected by cancer.

In March 2025 we launched seven new challenges developed in consultation with the global research community that span discovery, clinical and population sciences. In March 2026 we will announce our latest global teams, each of whom will be provided with research funding at scale (£20m), to enable imaginative thinking and allow the best scientists to collaborate, irrespective of geographical boundaries, to solve cancer's most complex challenges.

In this pivotal role, you'll lead the project management of CGC's next phase, helping to shape its future direction.

If you have experience managing projects in change or transformation environments-and thrive in roles that span a wide range of focus areas and teams-this is a fantastic opportunity to apply your skills and make a meaningful impact.

What will I be doing?

  • To be fully accountable for the delivery of a range of complex projects, collaborating across teams and ensuring appropriate governance with stakeholders.

  • Identify and plan resource needs, governance, and structure to support delivery.

  • In partnership with the Programme Manager, provide secretariat support to the various Cancer Grand Challenges governance forums including internal strategic groups.

  • Coordinate and draft papers and reports for Cancer Grand Challenges leadership and other governance groups.

  • Lead on development, delivery and reporting against the Cancer Grand Challenges annual operational plan, business plan and risk register.

  • Own the management of contracts between CRUK and NCI which provide the framework for the CGC initiative.

  • Work closely with Cancer Grand Challenges leadership and colleagues across CRUK (e.g. Legal, Finance and Strategic Partnerships) to support all contractual negotiations with future funding partners.

What are you looking for?

  • An experienced project leader (demonstrated through experience or APM, Prince 2, Agile qualification) with a proven track record of leading, collaborating on and delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects successfully on time and within budget across a complex organisation.

  • Experience or familiarity with transformation programmes and projects and associated tools.

  • Experience in business process design and implementation.

  • Demonstrable evidence of interpreting & manipulating data clearly and accurately with the ability to quickly extract & articulate key points.

  • Experience facilitating project or portfolio boards and steering groups at a senior management level.

  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to motivate and manage cross-functional teams.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with proven evidenced ability to form strong, positive collaborative relationships at all levels of seniority.

  • Experience in driving continuous improvement and developing forward looking plans and priorities for the team and adapting priorities as necessary whilst taking a pragmatic approach where appropriate.

  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with the ability to make decisions in a fast-paced environment.
