LSE is committed to improving the experience of its diverse internal community. The Change Communications Lead will play a central role in engaging with teams across LSE to help shape, coordinate and enhance communications activity that advances LSE’s strategy and supports staff and student experiences.
The main duties and responsibilities of the post will focus on internal communications and engagement to support LSE’s vision through our portfolio of change programmes and projects.

The post holder will provide communications leadership and direction in this environment, ensuring communications and engagement activity supports effective project delivery with successful change management and positive user impact.
Working across multi-functional project teams as part of a pool of change communication experts in LSE’s vibrant Communications Division, you will help shape and deliver change communications. You will advise on effective planning, coordination, channel management, creative content production and stakeholder engagement across the School, all while embedding insight and audience-led approaches that empower LSE students and staff with two-way communication practices.
This role will involve delivering across more than one change programme at a time in LSE’s broad multi-year portfolio, and could cover a variety of initiatives from improving day-to-day experiences at LSE and realising our technology strategy to School wide ambitions for future research. Although working as part of project teams, the post holder will also contribute to the wider narrative of change across LSE and help put in place consistent approaches to change communications at the institution.
