What the job involves
Prostate Cancer UK is committed to funding research that transforms the lives of men affected by or at high risk of prostate cancer. We’re seeking two proactive and knowledgeable Research Impact and Engagement Managers to join our Research Directorate. In this role, you’ll support the Head of Research Impact and Engagement as part of the Research Impact and Engagement Team, driving the use and visibility of our funded research.
You’ll oversee 50% of our larger and more complex completed research grants, acting as the primary contact to evaluate their progress and potential impact. You’ll also lead high-profile networking events and develop innovative strategies to inspire researchers to submit groundbreaking proposals that align with our mission.
A key focus of your role will be implementing strategies to maximise engagement with the research community, enhance the visibility of our funded work, and foster collaborations. You’ll mentor junior team members and apply your research experience to track and accelerate the outcomes and impact of our funded projects.
What we want from you
To succeed, you’ll need a strong scientific foundation, supported by a degree in biomedical science (or a related field) and research experience. You must be comfortable understanding complex scientific information and be skilled at translating this into clear, engaging content for diverse audiences.
Strong strategic thinking and exceptional organisational skills are essential to manage and deliver high-profile research events effectively. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills will enable you to craft compelling case studies and showcase funded projects through social media.
Leadership and mentoring abilities are also key, as you’ll guide and support junior team members. A proactive, solutions-focused mindset will drive you to explore new ideas and tackle challenges.
Why work with us?
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
