More people in the UK are being diagnosed and are living with cancer and as a result, more people than ever need Maggie’s support. For almost three decades, Maggie’s has been a trailblazer in cancer care. Last year alone, we supported over 327,000 visits, and now operate a growing network of 27 centres across the UK. This reflects the extraordinary work of Maggie’s staff and volunteers across the UK who are committed to ensuring people with cancer, and their family and friends, can access the expert support they need.

Our long-term ambition is to be there for everyone with cancer in the UK, at all 60 cancer centre sites. Our aim is to ensure that there is no-one living with cancer who is unable to access the expert psychological and information support that they so desperately need to live the best quality of life possible. The next five years brings us over the halfway mark to achieving this goal.

We are seeking an exceptional Associate Director of Operations to take on a pivotal, hands-on leadership role, partnering closely with the Chief Operating Officer at the heart of a values-led organisation. Maggie’s is on an ambitious growth journey, making this a rare opportunity to contribute to impact at national scale.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in ensuring operational excellence across the organisation, driving performance, strengthening systems and processes, and embedding robust governance and risk frameworks. With oversight of IT and infrastructure, and responsibility for translating strategy into delivery, you will help build a resilient organisation ready to scale.

We are seeking a proven operational leader with experience in complex environments, strong delivery focus and the credibility to engage senior stakeholders. A track record of improving organisational effectiveness, alongside a pragmatic and solutions-oriented approach, will be essential. xwzovoh
