Head of External Relations & Stakeholder Engagement
The Role
This is a new and important role at the heart of our core team. You'll support and enhance Moondance Cancer Initiative's external engagement - helping to strengthen relationships, expand our reach, and ensure our profile and partnerships reflect our values and support our ambitions.
You'll work closely with the Managing Director and Clinical Director to deepen our engagement with key individuals and organisations, ensuring MCI is connected to the people, expertise and opportunities that can help drive progress. You'll also help grow our wider network of collaborators, including identifying and onboarding expert freelancers and delivery partners who share our ambition.
This is a strategic and hands-on role, ideal for someone who thrives on building relationships, joining the dots across systems and enabling high-quality values-led collaboration.
Key contract information
This is a permanent contract (with a six-month probationary period.)
- Reports to: Managing Director
- Hours of work: 40 hours per week Monday to Friday inclusive. We are also open to considering this role on a 4-day (32 hours) per week basis, pro rata. This role involves flexibility, including occasional evening meetings and travel. You'll need to use your judgement about when in-person engagement adds value - whether that's meeting stakeholders locally or attending relevant events across the UK. You may also need to connect with partners in other time zones online. Occasional international travel many be required.
- Salary: £60,000 per annum (full time) plus a 5% employer pension contribution via the NEST scheme (alternative schemes considered by request).
- Annual holiday entitlement: 25 working days together with the usual Bank and Public holidays. The days between Christmas and New Year are also awarded as additional paid leave.
- Location: We’re committed to working collaboratively and with purpose. We offer a hybrid working model, where team members can work flexibly from home and our office in central Cardiff. We have regular anchor days, usually once a week, where all team members come together at our office. You will therefore need to live within commuting distance of Cardiff.
Closing date: Noon Wednesday 25 June 2025
All shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a psychometric assessment w/c 7 July 2025.
