This is a unique opportunity to be involved in some of the highest priority projects for Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), supporting our most senior leaders to make the big decisions that will make a difference for our patients and staff for years to come.

Work may include:
• Supporting the development of new models of care and related investment cases for major service developments.
• Delivering high quality proposals and engagement strategies for Government, charitable and industry partners, together with CUH Communications and Engagement experts.
• Developing tailor-made strategies for commercial involvement and support for our projects, ensuring delivery of world-leading partnerships that accelerate translation for patient benefit.

We need someone who is:
• Comfortable working at and in constant engagement with senior levels of management across CUH and partner organisations.
• Able to learn rapidly, and take in a wide range of information, distilling out the key points into clear succinct well-argued documents. Key to this will be the ability to craft compelling narrative, at pace, which secures internal and external support for strategic transformation and supporting investment.
• Able to manage competing demands and produce high quality work to tight deadlines.
• A clear communicator with excellent written, analytical and presentation skills.
