Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life care, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they’re likely to die from.

We aim to create a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 key strategies:

1. Growing and transforming our direct care and support
2. Delivering more practical information and support
3. Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience

Your role in our mission…

We’re seeking a Senior Business Manager to join our team in the north of England.

This is an exciting time at Marie Curie as we enter a phase of change, collaboration, and partnership with other organisations to enhance access to a better end-of-life experience. We are developing a deeper understanding of the specific needs of different communities and regions, based on public health needs, community assets, and untapped resources.

You will serve as the commercial expert for your designated area in the UK, providing advice and support to the Associate Director on all aspects of business development and management, including intelligence gathering, proposal and tender development, and lifecycle contract management.

You will collaborate with health and social care sector commissioners to establish effective relationships, maximize income from existing and new services, and foster service innovation. You will be supported by 1-2 Business Managers, depending on your assigned area.

This role directly contributes to Marie Curie’s growth through managing proposals, tenders, and funding applications, following standard processes for business case development, contract approval, and risk assessment. It is a career opportunity to join a motivated and ambitious team focused on growth and success aligned with our charity’s strategic goals and values.
