You'll work at the heart of the Union, crafting the narrative that connects students to the work of their elected Sabbatical Officers and the transformation underway across the organisation.
 

In this role, you'll translate complex policy objectives, organisational priorities, and student-led change into compelling stories that build trust, drive engagement, and strengthen the Union's reputation. You'll work closely with Sabbatical Officers and Senior Leadership to ensure LSESU's communications are clear, consistent, values-driven, and always focused on our impact for LSE Students.
 

This is both a strategic and hands-on role – and is an opportunity to make a real difference.

Who are we looking for?
 

 
We're looking for an experienced communications professional with a strong track record in stakeholder engagement, reputation management, and narrative development. You'll bring proven expertise in creating compelling content across multiple channels—from newsletters and social media to speeches and impact reports—and the ability to translate complex information into accessible, engaging stories.
 

Experience with media handling, crisis communications, and working in politically sensitive environments is essential, as is the ability to build relationships with diverse stakeholders including student leaders, senior staff, and external partners. You'll be confident producing multimedia content, including coordinating filming, photography, and graphic assets.
 

You'll be resilient and adaptable, able to thrive in a fast-paced, democratic environment while managing multiple priorities and tight deadlines. Strong copywriting, editing, and strategic thinking skills are key, as is a commitment to accessibility and inclusive communication.
 

Above all, you'll share our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and bring integrity, creativity, and a passion for supporting student-led democratic organisations.
 

 
Why apply?
 

As our Strategic Communications Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Union and supporting thousands of students at one of the world’s leading universities. We offer:
 

-        25 days of holiday per year (pro rata)
 

-        Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter
