Digital Manager - Foundation (MELBOURNE, VIC, AU, 3000) presso Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation
Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation · Melbourne, Australia · Onsite
- Senior
- Ufficio in Melbourne
At Peter Mac we aim to continuously improve cancer care, research and education across all cancers and for all people affected by cancer: changing lives, breaking new ground. Everything we do is underpinned by our core values, Excellence, Compassion and Innovation. Welcoming people from a wide variety of different backgrounds and experiences is critical to fostering innovation, cultivating compassion, attracting and retaining top talent and providing the best possible cancer care for our patients.
The Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation is the fundraising arm of Peter Mac. While our internationally recognised cancer researchers have great success securing competitive project grants, these grants rarely fund new innovative projects, or the state-of-the-art technologies and resources needed to undertake these research projects. Funds raised by the Foundation give some of the brightest minds in cancer research the specialised technologies they need to make important new discoveries.
