• Coaching and partnering with Programme Managers and business owners to embed benefits into planning and delivery 

• Developing and maintaining Benefits Maps, Profiles, and Dependency Networks that clearly link initiatives to strategic goals  

• Establishing robust baselines, measures, and timelines for benefit realisation  

• Monitoring and reporting benefits throughout programme lifecycles, including post-implementation reviews  

• Providing insight and analysis to support prioritisation and evidence-based decision-making

Who we’re looking for

We’re particularly interested in candidates with:

• Strong knowledge of benefits management frameworks (e.g. MSP, APM)
• Proven ability to quantify and track financial, operational, and social impact
• Experience working within change and transformation environments
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders
• A collaborative mindset, with experience working across multi-disciplinary teams

Who you’ll work with

You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across the organisation, including:

• Head of Portfolio Delivery
• Programme and Project Managers
• Strategy Integration team
• Finance and Insight teams
• Senior stakeholders and business owners

What success looks like

In this role, you’ll:

• Embed clear, consistent benefits frameworks across programmes
• Deliver robust tracking and reporting, evidencing impact for people living with cancer
• Enable evidence-based prioritisation through high-quality benefits analysis
• Build confidence across the organisation in our ability to deliver measurable outcomes
