At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.
We are looking for a qualified Finance Manager or Finance Business Partner to join our Fundraising Finance Team to lead on delivering high-quality and insightful reporting and financial planning for our Marketing, Communities & Event Delivery teams.

This is an opportunity for a finance professional with strong senior stakeholder management and influencing skills to collaborate closely with Directors and Heads of Marketing and Events. You will play a valuable role in influencing decision-making, driving change, and the strategic direction of your business areas which will directly impact initiatives and projects essential to Cancer Research UK’s future success in achieving our mission of beating cancer.
What skills will I need?
