About the European Cancer Organisation (ECO)

The European Cancer Organisation is a not-for-profit federation of 40 healthcare professional organisations and 21 patient groups committed to reducing the burden of cancer. We bring together oncology professionals, survivors, patients, carers, and civil society to shape and implement evidence-based policy and advocate for progress across the entire cancer care pathway.

Across its pillars of activity, the European Cancer Organisation operates a growing number of projects aimed at gathering cancer policy data intelligence and communicating it to relevant decision-makers to drive evidence-based progress in cancer control at European and national level. This includes the European Cancer Pulse data tool, tracking cancer inequalities across Europe, as well as further publications derived from it, such as Country Reports, supporting an ongoing programme of country visits, and emerging series of Policy Indexes in specific policy fields. Targeted initiatives are also conducted in areas where further data intelligence is important, such as cancer workforce issues or cancer inequalities.

Your Responsibilities

As Policy Research Officer you will:

Support the continuous development, update and expansion of the European Cancer Pulse and its Policy Indexes;
Support data-driven national policy engagement activities, including the preparation of Country Reports and associated country visits
Contribute to public health policy research projects on high-stakes themes for cancer policy across Europe. Tasks will include project planning, design of research methodologies, collaborations with experts and stakeholders, review of literature, conduct surveys, organisation of workshops, analysis of collected data, and the development of policy outputs.
Lead activities in EU-funded projects in which ECO is involved, including on the involvement of cancer community stakeholders, projects’ policy impact at European and national level, and long-term extension and sustainability.
Support selected activities and workstreams of ECO’s Focused Topic Networks.
Other duties and responsibilities assigned by the Chief Executive and/or the Policy Research & EU Projects Manager

The Role Requires

Genuine passion for serving the organisation’s mission to reduce the burden of cancer across Europe
Proven proficiency and professional experience (at least 1-2 years) in conducting policy-applied research and analysing scientific materials
Strong background in the fields of public health, life sciences and/or social sciences, and interest in continuously developing policy- and advocacy-related skills
Excellent inter-personal skills and ability to build effective relations with high-level partners and experts from across Europe
Comfort and eagerness to undertake projects involving the collection, processing and transformation of data into policy-relevant outputs
A proactive and dynamic attitude, capable of taking ownership of projects and finding solutions to make things happen through curiosity and critical thinking
An ability to manage complexity, plan and prioritise across multiple tasks and ensure rigorous, high-quality delivery
A team-player spirit, with commitment to collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, follow agreed workflows and run the extra mile to support the success of the organisation
Excellent communication skills, with ability to communicate research to diverse audiences in lay friendly terms
Fluency in written and spoken English and proficiency in computer and internet use
High level of discretion to maintain confidentiality of information

What the Role Offers

This position provides the opportunity to contribute to impactful European initiatives that improve the lives of cancer patients, survivors, and their families. You will gain experience in public health, evidence-based advocacy, and policy implementation at a time when cancer is at the top of the EU agenda.

You will work closely with high-level experts, policy leaders, and EU institutions, while also gaining insight into the functioning of an active, mission-driven not-for-profit organisation. ECO offers a dynamic collaborative environment where you can develop professionally, take on increasing responsibility, and make a meaningful contribution to Europe’s cancer community.
