Job Description

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 moustache-powered 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):

Prostate cancer doesn't affect all men equally. Movember's Prostate Cancer Health Equity and Personalised Cancer Care initiatives exist to change that, and this role sits at the operational heart of both.

As Program Manager, Prostate Cancer Health Equity and Personalised Cancer Care, you'll be responsible for the end-to-end management, coordination, and delivery of Movember's international programs across these two interconnected initiatives. That means owning the full program management lifecycle across a complex portfolio of grant-funded projects, convening and network activities, cross-market knowledge sharing, and stakeholder engagement, reporting to the Director, Prostate Cancer Health Equity and Personalised Cancer Care.

Your day-to-day work spans the full arc of program delivery. You'll manage project plans, milestones, and tracking tools with precision, maintain partner and stakeholder contact systems, coordinate cross-market learning, and integrate input from subject matter experts and patient lived experience voices into planning and delivery. You'll manage grant programs from end to end, from discovery and request for proposals through peer evaluation, contracting, implementation, and evaluation. You'll produce progress reports, develop communications and programmatic assets in collaboration with Marketing and Communications, and contribute to knowledge translation materials including presentations, video scripts, and key project documents.

Budget and contract oversight is a core part of the role. You'll lead fiscal year budget planning, track and reconcile grantee invoices and payment schedules, support contract and grant agreement execution in partnership with Legal and Finance, and produce annual program report cards across all active grant programs in your portfolio.

Stakeholder relationships are central to how this role operates. You'll work closely with the Social Impact team, engage proactively with Movember's governance, technical, creative, and fundraising areas, and facilitate knowledge exchange across the prostate cancer portfolio and with external partners globally.

This is a role for someone who brings both strong program management discipline and genuine fluency in health equity and implementation science, and who is driven by the belief that where you come from should not determine the quality of the cancer care you receive.

No Moustache Required - but the following are:

  • Relevant graduate qualifications in a health-related discipline, health science, or population health.
  • Substantive experience in health equity, this is a must.
  • At least five years of program and project management experience within a health-related environment, with demonstrated training in project management methodology.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and strong cross-functional collaboration ability.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage conflicts, negotiate effectively, and influence across diverse stakeholder groups.
  • Excellent organisational, analytical, and planning skills, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with project and task management software such as Asana, including task creation, milestone tracking, and reporting, as well as working familiarity with SmartSheet, MS Project, Visio, Excel, and Box.
  • Ability to operate independently, make sound decisions, and seek direction where required.
  • Proficiency in analytical thinking and the ability to convey complex implementation science frameworks clearly and concisely.
  • Financial skills to develop and monitor large and complex budget plans.
  • Comfortable working at pace in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment.
  • Discretion and a strong commitment to confidentiality.

Not Mission Critical - but for extra street cred:

  • Knowledge of the prostate cancer or oncology setting.
  • A project management certification.
  • Experience working directly on programs or initiatives addressing health disparities, inequities, or underserved populations in the prostate cancer space.
  • Global program management experience.

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:

  • Flexible hybrid working from home and our modern Richmond office
  • Finish work at 2pm on Fridays (Dec-Aug)
  • NFP salary packaging (pay less tax)
  • 13 weeks paid parental leave and 5 weeks annual leave
  • Fun & collaborative culture with employee social events
  • Free Headspace subscription and other wellbeing initiative
  • Relaxed dress code

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) 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.

And another impressive number is our WGEA gender pay gap: it sits at a big, fat, round 0%. If you’ve got the relevant skills and the right attitude, let nothing stand in your way of firing off your application.

Movember is stronger when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are part of our crew. We want you to feel supported in exploring opportunities with us. That’s why before applying, we invite you to yarn with Raymond Rosendale, Australian Indigenous Programs Manager, in a virtual catch-up to talk about the role, our community work, or just to share ideas.

Do you want to DO GOOD?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.

About Movember

Since 2003, Movember has built a global men’s health movement, funding more than 1,300 projects around the world, challenging the status quo,

shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. Movember has taken on three of the biggest health

issues affecting men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide.

Movember has:

▪ Invested almost $350 million in over 600 biomedical research projects, focusing on prostate and testicular cancer.

▪ Funded 4 prostate cancer registries, with over 200,000 men enrolled from 23 countries.

▪ Supported interventions designed to assist and guide men through the prostate cancer journey, offering them resources and information so

that they are empowered to make their own decisions, manage symptoms and share lived experiences.

▪ Since taking on mental health and suicide as a cause area in 2006, Movember has united experts, funded bold new approaches and embraced

fresh perspectives. We’ve focused on prevention, early intervention, and health promotion through a male lens.

Movember is for everyone, not just for men. We are a health movement and our invitation to take part is open to everyone. We champion healthcare that

is sensitive to the needs of everyone, including men, so that everyone benefits. And we have a strong focus on how improving men's health can have a

profoundly positive impact on women, families, and society as a whole.

But we lead the charge in encouraging men to adopt healthy behaviours, challenging health systems and confronting gender norms to reduce health

inequalities and save more lives. To donate or learn more, please visit Movember.com.
