Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.
Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.
Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a purpose-fueled crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.
DO GOOD. Work for Movember.
Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):
This is one of the most significant leadership roles at Movember. As Country Director UK, you'll carry full accountability for the UK market, owning the P&L, driving the Country Plan, and serving as the connective force across income, marketing, operations and impact in one of Movember's most important fundraising markets.
You'll chair the UK Leadership Team, aligning a cross-functional group around shared priorities and ensuring the market delivers against clear revenue and Campaign targets year on year. Reporting to the Global Director of Markets, you'll also work closely with Country Directors across APAC, Canada, Ireland and the US, contributing to a global income strategy that genuinely moves the dial on men's health.
This isn't a figurehead role. You'll be Movember's face and voice in the UK, across media, government, partners and the public. You'll grow and diversify revenue, build and steward high-value corporate and philanthropic relationships, and ensure the Movember Campaign drives year-on-year participation and income growth, all within agreed cost-to-income ratios. Alongside that, you'll champion men's health in the policy and advocacy space, building relationships with government and sector influencers to shift the public agenda and increase brand awareness and consideration in the market.
Internally, you'll lead a capable, motivated team, coaching, developing and setting the cultural tone for the UK office. You'll be present (minimum two to three days per week in the office), visible, and genuinely invested in your people, maintaining the kind of engagement and leadership pipeline that makes a team truly high-performing. You'll also work closely with the local People Partner on workforce planning, talent and the overall people agenda for the market.
Equally important is the impact side of this role. You'll ensure UK health programmes are executed in alignment with global strategy, hitting market-level impact targets that matter, and telling the story of that impact compellingly to partners, supporters and the public.
The successful candidate will be equally at home setting strategic direction and rolling up their sleeves to deliver it. You'll thrive in a global matrixed organisation, building influence across functions without relying on direct control. You'll bring credibility across income and impact, and you'll know how to balance global consistency with what it actually takes to win in the UK market.
No Moustache Required - but the following are:
Senior leadership experience in a charity or not-for-profit, with a genuine connection to purpose-driven work
A proven track record of driving performance across complex, cross-functional teams in a matrixed organisation, leading through influence rather than direct authority
Strong fundraising credentials, including experience delivering large-scale campaigns and managing relationships with governments, corporations, foundations and/or major donors
Experience working on mass-participation marketing or fundraising campaigns, with the commercial acumen to balance risk, opportunity and fundraising economics
Demonstrated ability to translate global strategy into actionable market plans, balancing organisational consistency with local context
Financially literate, with experience managing P&L responsibility, budgets, reforecasting and reporting in a not-for-profit or comparable environment
Comfortable acting as an organisation's primary spokesperson and brand ambassador, with experience across media, public platforms and high-profile external events
Experience engaging with policy, advocacy or government relations to advance a cause or shift a public agenda
A confident, credible communicator who can engage, inspire and hold the confidence of diverse stakeholders, partners and senior leaders
A strong people leader with a record of building, developing and retaining high-performing teams, and maintaining a culture people want to be part of
Experienced in setting and delivering against country or market-level plans, with clear accountability for revenue, participation and impact outcomes
Data-driven in approach, using analytics and insights to inform strategy, measure impact and constructively challenge assumptions
Collaborative by nature, with the ability to build strong working relationships across global functions, local markets and external partners
Prior experience in or exposure to healthcare or men's health causes would be a significant advantage
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives.
We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.
GOOD VIBES:
We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.
Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.
GOOD CREW:
Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.
We offer:
Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working
13 weeks paid Parental Leave and 6 weeks annual leave
Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)
An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support
A fun stimulating and collaborating culture, with company events
Service awards after 3, 5 and 10 year
Committees to join – Culture team, Equity Diversity & Inclusion
Bike to work scheme
Half day Fridays for 9 months of the year
Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.
Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.
