The Institute of Cancer Research

Head of Events and Stewardship

Chelsea, London (with occasional travel to Sutton)

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes. We are passionate about our mission to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.

Our Development Office raised £16m in philanthropic donations last year – our best ever performance. We are responsible for maximising fundraising and philanthropy across individual giving and legacies, events, trusts and foundations, corporates and major donors.

On the back of this success, we are now in the early stages of a major capital fundraising campaign in order to build a new Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery on Sutton site. This state-of-the-art facility will enable the ICR to build on our unrivalled track record in creating innovative cancer medicines, providing one of the world’s best hopes of finding the new drugs that are so urgently needed to meet the greatest challenges in cancer treatment today.

The delivery of a robust cultivation and stewardship events programme will be crucial in supporting the Development team in meeting its financial targets, whilst providing unique cultivation and engagement opportunities for our current and potential supporters. Your ability to plan, execute and deliver creative events that showcase ICR’s leading research will be key to your success in this role.

If you enjoy nurturing and developing relationships with a diverse range of supporters and would like to contribute to future growth and success of the team, please contact our recruitment partners, Richmond Associates.
