This appointment is until 30 June 2025; however, we expect the role to be renewed with high likelihood of long-term extension.
LSE Cities is preparing to launch a pioneering European City Leadership Initiative (ECLI) for mayors and their teams. The initiative will include world class executive education delivered both virtually and in-person at sites across Europe. This essential capability-building work will be accompanied by rapid-fire research and experimentation, informed by mayors' real-world challenges to generate practical resources and data for city leaders.
We are now building a team of experienced and dynamic professionals to help get this exciting new initiative off the ground. This is a pioneering initiative with the potential to create deep impact on the capabilities of European local governments and we are seeking an enthusiastic Communications Manager to conduct marketing, communications, outreach activities and events in support of the initiative.
The Communications Manager will play a critical role to help establish the ECLI as a world-class executive education opportunity for city leaders across the continent, and to support the recruitment of the first cohort of the initiative. The post-holder will ensure the effective management and delivery of the ECLI’s communications activities and strategy, including outreach and events. They will work closely with funders and senior stakeholders to develop a title and unique brand identity for the ECLI, and effectively market the initiative in a way that is responsive to the needs of local government leaders – to ensure a diverse, committed intake of European mayors joins each yearly cohort. The post-holder will work with the ECLI delivery team to set a high standard and oversee quality control for all communications materials produced in association with the initiative.
