Martech Transformation Lead

at  Cancer Research UK

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.
Cancer Research UK has a vision to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. However, to achieve our mission and grow our funding, we must build even greater momentum and urgency around our cause, and engage and inspire millions of people in deeper, more meaningful ways to join our mission. Therefore, we have created a long-term Engage Strategy and designed a bold transformation programme which aims to better harness data and digital marketing technology to deliver more relevant, trusted, and frictionless experiences for our audiences (and in turn drive growth).
Our Martech portfolio has an extensive technological estate consisting of a range of products used by our Marketing and Supporter Engagement departments (e.g., Adobe Campaign, Infobip, Taxi for Email, Contentful, Bynder, Graphify, Optimizely, Jotform, and many more).
We are searching for a Martech Transformation Lead to play a pivotal role in leading and managing the digital and data-led transformation of this estate. Your impact will be to help us get the most out of our current estate while shaping and defining the future and long-term product needs of our Martech products. This will involve delivering a multi-stage transformation programme to build our product foundations and shape our new strategy before implementing it. You will help ensure that Cancer Research UK has the right culture, skills, and processes for successful delivery and transformation, while fully owning the strategy and budget for our Martech estate.
This is a newly created role for you to shape, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to drive how we deliver this change and its scope. By the end of the programme, your impact will be to have partnered closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation and helped deliver the largest programme of change in the history of the UK charity sector. If you are an experienced Martech Product Leader looking for a purpose-driven and autonomous role, we’d love for you to join our mission.

WHAT SKILLS WILL I NEED?

• An experienced Martech leader with experience in shaping culture, building teams, and leading through change in large organisations. The leadership behaviours we’re looking for are:
• Emotional intelligence, resilience, and empathy.
• An inclusive approach to leading and developing digital professionals (this includes supporting career progression, skills development, and leadership coaching).
• A successful track record of managing marketing technology with an understanding of the marketplace, available technologies, and current trends.
• Has balanced user needs, strategic and technical requirements, and operational demand in large, complex organisations with constrained resources.
• Demonstrable understanding of outcome-led decision-making and related ways of working.
• Managed and selected marketing technology suppliers.
• Managed budgets with a focus on affordability and effective ways of working (including external suppliers).
• Strong influencing and relationship-building skills:
• The ability to persuade and negotiate with stakeholders of all levels, having communicated methodologies and projects to a diverse, non-expert audience who may be sceptical of a user-first or agile approach.
• Effective at collaborating and forming relationships across boundaries and locations.
• Implemented robust information security and data protection controls.
  Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.
  Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination
  Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism
  Human : Act to have a positive impact on people
  Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively
  We’re looking for people who can believe in and embody these organisation values and can use them to drive forward progress against our mission to beat cancer.
  If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we’d still love to hear from you.
