At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer. We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.

Cancer Research UK’s Procurement team plays a critical role in ensuring the charity has the resources it needs to operate and deliver on our mission. Managing around £200m of annual spend, we are driving an ambitious transformation to create a strategic, data-driven procurement function that delivers value, mitigates risk, and fosters innovation. By embedding procurement best practice across the organisation, we aim to maximise value for money, enhance quality, improve efficiency, and uphold our promise to direct 80p of every £1 donated towards beating cancer.

As a Procurement Data Analyst, you’ll take ownership of the data that underpins our procurement activity, ensuring accurate, reliable information that drives effective contract management and smarter decision-making across Cancer Research UK. This hybrid role combines data analytics and contract administration to support the Procurement team in delivering value for money, compliance, and strategic insight. This will involve maintaining and enhancing our systems, producing meaningful reports, and translating complex datasets into clear insights for stakeholders across the charity.

This is an opportunity for you to strengthen governance, improve processes, and support technology and change initiatives that elevate the impact of data within Procurement, while contributing directly to our mission to beat cancer.

If you’re an experienced Data Analyst who has used complex datasets to generate meaningful insights that informed stakeholder decision-making in a large organisation, we would love for you to join our mission.
