What the job involves
As Product and Delivery Manager, you’ll play a key role in helping us deliver technology that supports Prostate Cancer UK’s mission. You’ll be responsible for shaping the direction of our internal products and systems, ensuring they continue to meet the needs of colleagues across the organisation and provide long‑term value. Working closely with stakeholders, you’ll help identify priorities, assess opportunities for improvement, and ensure technology investment supports our strategic goals. You’ll lead the planning and delivery of technology projects and enhancements, turning business needs into clear, achievable plans. From managing product roadmaps and delivery schedules to coordinating resources and tracking progress, you’ll ensure work is delivered effectively and to a high standard. You’ll oversee the full delivery lifecycle, helping teams navigate challenges and keeping stakeholders informed along the way. You will also act as line manager to a team of three direct reports. Working across a range of products, systems and data services, you’ll bring together colleagues, technical specialists and external partners to achieve shared outcomes. Acting as a bridge between business and technology teams, you’ll build strong relationships, encourage collaboration, and help create a clear understanding of priorities, risks and opportunities. You’ll also help drive continuous improvement across our technology services and ways of working. This includes identifying opportunities to modernise systems, improve processes and make better use of data, automation and emerging technologies such as AI. Through your work, you’ll help ensure our technology remains effective, sustainable and ready to support the organisation’s future ambitions.
What we want from you
We’re looking for someone with experience of managing digital products, technology delivery, or related projects, who can balance day‑to‑day delivery with longer‑term planning. You’ll be comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment, coordinating multiple priorities and helping teams deliver valuable outcomes. Experience working with CRM platforms, particularly within the charity sector, would be an advantage. You’ll have a strong understanding of how technology products and services are developed and delivered, including experience of Agile ways of working and the software development lifecycle. You’ll work effectively with technical specialists, understanding the opportunities and constraints involved in developing, integrating and supporting systems, while helping non‑technical colleagues make informed judgments. Strong communication, relationship‑building and problem‑solving skills are essential. You’ll bring together different perspectives, translating complex information into clear, accessible language, and helping teams navigate challenges where there may not be an obvious solution. Experience leading or coordinating multi‑disciplinary teams, including external suppliers and partners, will help you succeed in this role. We’re keen to hear from people who enjoy improving services, identifying opportunities and turning ideas into practical action. Experience contributing to resource planning, prioritisation and delivery reporting would be beneficial, alongside familiarity with modern digital delivery environments and release processes. Above all, you’ll be motivated by the chance to make a meaningful difference through the effective use of technology.

- Strong understanding of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
- Ability to manage multiple products, projects and operational priorities simultaneously, adapting plans in response to changing business needs, risks and resource constraints.
- Experience leading multi‑disciplinary delivery teams, drawing on internal colleagues and external partners to achieve agreed outcomes.

This role is in salary Band 4, with a starting salary of £42,750 – £50,250 per year. The midpoint salary for this role is £50,250 after 12 months of successful service. We pay the London Living Wage and provide a working‑from‑home allowance at the HMRC tax‑free rate of £312 per year.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part‑time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision‑making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Because of the nature of this role, we expect the postholder to be in the office three times per week. Additional in‑person attendance will be required during the first few months for induction and training. We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long‑term physical or mental health condition.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
We’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. Our work includes ground‑breaking research into Black men’s risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to diagnosis and treatment. We strive to be Allies to Black communities and to each other, and in 2024 launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues receive Ally training. We are also a signatory of Business in the Community’s Race at Work Charter.
