This is a fixed term appointment for 10 months; 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 Programme (ECLP) for mayors and their teams. The programme 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 seeking to build a team of experienced professionals to help get this exciting new initiative off the ground. This is a pioneering programme with the potential to create deep impact on the capabilities of European local governments, which the Project Manager for Mayoral Leadership have the chance to shape from its very inception.
The Project Manager for Mayoral Leadership is a crucial role in the delivery of mayoral training as part of the ECLP. The post-holder will work closely with the Academic Directors of the programme to develop a world-class leadership curriculum for mayors. The role will involve support of the design and delivery of a pioneering executive education training for mayors across Europe, delivered to a cohort of 30 mayors per year from 2025 onwards. The post-holder will provide project management support to ensure the development of the mayoral leadership component of the programme meets key milestones and remains on track. They will be responsible for ensuring practical and logistical foundations for delivery of a programme of the highest calibre with real impact for mayors.
Candidates should have significant professional experience of working as a programme manager or administrator, managing complex projects, including budgets and reporting.
