About PAGE



The LSE Philanthropy and Global Engagement Division (PAGE) brings together colleagues working to connect and engage with alumni and friends, staff and students, volunteers, donors, academic institutions, businesses, organisations, and the wider community. Together, these relationships strengthen LSE's global profile, grow philanthropic support, and advance the School's strategic priorities.





PAGE is a vibrant division of more than 100 colleagues working across four main areas: Philanthropy, International Strategy & Academic Partnerships (ISAP), Corporate Engagement, and Alumni, Supporter Engagement and Operations. This is an exciting time to be part of PAGE as we expand our work and partnerships through the Shaping the World campaign and strengthen LSE's international presence.





Within PAGE, the ISAP team plays a central role in supporting students and academics in their international engagement with universities, alliances, and networks worldwide. Our work focuses on two main priorities:



1. Creating global opportunities for LSE students.



2. Developing impactful research collaborations in the social sciences and beyond.





As LSE celebrates its 130th anniversary, we are looking ahead with ambition: to be the world's leading social science university with the greatest global impact.



Would you like to be part of making that ambition a reality?

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Manager (Strategy & Projects) to join PAGE on a 12-month fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. This is a pivotal role at an exciting moment for LSE, offering the chance to lead on the implementation of the School's international strategy, develop new projects in priority regions, and provide line management to ISAP colleagues.





This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a role with real impact--both across the School and on the broader world. You will be working at the heart of LSE's global engagement, shaping opportunities for students and academics, and helping to build partnerships that advance social science internationally.





We are looking for a colleague who is collaborative, open-minded, creative, and confident in taking initiative and driving projects forward. The role requires someone who can spot opportunities, build strong networks, and persevere with tenacity and resilience to bring ideas to fruition.





You will be joining a supportive and ambitious team that values new ideas, works in a highly collaborative way, and enjoys a positive and forward-thinking culture. This role offers the unique chance to contribute directly to LSE's international impact while working alongside world-leading experts in areas ranging from climate change and AI to sociology, economics, politics, and beyond.





If you are excited by the prospect of helping to deliver LSE's international strategy and want to play a key part in shaping the School's global future, we would be delighted to hear from you.





Be part of our wonderful community where assumptions are challenged, and new ideas are encouraged.
