Communications and Events Officer


Salary from £32,960 to £37,705 pa inclusive with potential to progress to £40,432 pa inclusive of London allowance


This is a fixed term appointment for 3 years


The Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa (FLIA) focuses on engagement with Africa through cutting-edge research, teaching and public events, strengthening LSE’s long-term commitment to placing Africa at the heart of understandings and debates on global issues. The FLIA is seeking an exceptional communications professional to develop and deliver communications and events that push forward initiatives and tell our story.


This role offers the successful candidate the opportunity to join one of the foremost social science universities in the world, with a global reach and international student intake. Whether we are encouraging debate or sharing insights from our latest research findings, communications play an integral role in our commitment to bringing about real-world impact by informing those who are motivated to better understand the challenges and opportunities faced by Africa.


As part of a dynamic team, the postholder will contribute to enhancing the internal and external communications of the FLIA. This includes supporting its research centres, the Centre for Public Authority and International Development (CPAID) and The Centre for Women, Peace and Security (WPS), and facilitate their engagement with relevant audiences through established channels, such as the web, social media, direct mailing, newsletters and events. The postholder will be encouraged to break new ground in internal and external communications, research dissemination and digital engagement, including the creative use of editorial, photo, video, and audio content.


The suitable candidate will have significant experience and expertise in communications, and the technical ability to employ these skills across a wide range of online and offline channels. The postholder will also have previous experience of working to deliver public and closed events and of managing a varied workload, including experience overseeing junior staff members. As an accomplished writer, the candidate will possess excellent organisational skills, a responsive and flexible attitude and strong attention to detail. A self-starter, the postholder will have the ability to work on their own initiative and enjoy working as part of a team. An interest in or knowledge of issues pertaining to the African continent is essential for this role.


This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and organised communications and events professional to join a busy and friendly team, to interact with our motivated and dedicated students and alumni, and to make a genuine contribution to the ongoing development and success of the Institute within LSE.


We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave, hybrid working, and excellent training and development opportunities.
