The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is entering an exciting period in its near 125-year history. LSE 2030 will deliver a new strategic direction that will preserve and build on LSE’s status as a world leading social science university that educates brilliant minds and creates knowledge that can transform global societies for a global impact.

In November 2021, LSE launched the public phase of Shaping the World, a major philanthropy and engagement Campaign to underpin the LSE 2030 goals and to help shape the world in the process. More than 60% of our Campaign goal has been raised so far and there is huge momentum building as we advance the public phase.

This is a new role in the PAGE Division, and we are looking for candidates who are curious and interested in asking the right questions and driving accurate conclusions to support our ambitious plans.
