Organisational Capability Change Lead – Help Us Go Further, Faster
At Cancer Research UK, we’re professionals with purpose. Every day, we take on one of the world’s toughest challenges — and we won’t stop until we beat cancer. But to move faster and go further, we need brilliant people who are ready to grow, stretch, and help shape what comes next. People like you.
Join us, and you’ll be part of a community that’s deeply committed to our mission — a place where your expertise can create real, lasting impact.
About The Role
As our Organisational Capability Change Lead, you’ll play a pivotal part in shaping and delivering one of the ten strategic change objectives at the heart of our next three-year plan. This programme will strengthen the organisational foundations CRUK needs to deliver its heightened ambition — building the culture, leadership and ways of working that will help us move with greater pace, clarity, and innovation.
Working at the intersection of organisational development, culture and change, you’ll support the design and steer of a people centred programme that addresses the cultural, behavioural and structural conditions needed for high performance. You’ll influence widely, bringing people together across functions, aligning priorities, and inspiring action — often without direct authority.
