About the role
We are looking for a Senior Research Insight Analyst to lead the design and delivery of research within our Insight & Performance division – designing and managing research to produce customer, market, and trend insights that add to Macmillan’s structured evidence base and maximise our impact on people with cancer. We are looking for someone who can start in September. While Senior Analysts work across organisational priorities as needed, you will primarily be part of a multidisciplinary group focusing on our Engagement Directorate. This includes working closely with teams across Fundraising, Marketing, Innovation, and the services we provide directly to people living with cancer. You will work with research, evaluation, business intelligence, and data experts, to deliver against key research and insight focus areas for Macmillan, prioritising effort where potential return and impact is greatest. You will also work closely with Macmillan’s subject matter experts and our research agency partners to develop and deliver high quality research projects that meet organisational needs and ensure Macmillan’s evidence base remains current and comprehensive.
About you
The successful candidate will demonstrate the following skills and experience:
- Experience of current qualitative and quantitative research & analysis tools, methodologies, and structured thinking techniques, including working with communities that are marginalised and seldom-heard groups.
- Project management experience (scope, budget, and schedule management) in a matrix environment requiring collaboration across a range of disciplines and/or in people management (including volunteers or interns).
- Experience of supporting strategy development and product and service innovation processes.
- Knowledge of the UK charity fundraising landscape is desirable, but not essential.
- Experience of generating audience insights for charity brand, communications and products, as well as knowledge of the UK cancer support market are also desirable.
In return, we offer a range of benefits including:
- 25 days holiday plus flexible bank holiday options, increasing by 1 day every year of service up to 30 days.
- Pension matched up to 7.5%.
- 120+ learning and development offers, with access to external professional qualifications.
