Are you an inspirational leader who cares about empowering the voice of students and delivering genuinely impactful change?
Do you like working in fun, dynamic and varied roles in which no two days are the same, and that possess significant development and growth opportunities?
If so, then you’re in the right place, and the Student Voice Manager role might well be the position for you!
Armed with a bold and ambitious new strategy, there couldn’t be a more exciting time to join our organisation.
LSESU is seeking to set the global standard for what it means to be a world class students’ union, and this role sits right at the heart of that lofty ambition.
With a renewed, strategic focus on policy, this position will play a leading role in establishing a policy function that will enable us to be the definitive and credible home of student voice at LSE. A function which will become even more important when we enter the second stage of the strategy in 2026, when student voice will become the central strategic focus of the organisation.
Sitting within the broader Student Voice Department (alongside the Advice Team), you would lead a friendly, talented team of four permanent Student Voice Coordinators (SVCs) who together account for all of the Union’s policy, democratic, representation and campaigning work, alongside a part-time member of student staff.
Variety is hard-wired into the role. In addition to overseeing policy and research output, you would be responsible for leading a democratic and governance structure that is so innovative it is currently the source of an international academic study. Accountabilities here would include delivery of our biannual student elections and sector-leading Student Panels.
You would also be responsible for leading on how we support our elected student representatives and campaign groups; and for the Union’s academic representation work.
Given the breadth of work undertaken within the team, expect there to be plenty of opportunities to grow, develop and pick up new skills outside of the main responsibilities of the role.
Who are we looking for?
This role is fast-paced and so you’ll need exceptional organisation and planning skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once in a calm, effective manner.
The team you will be managing cuts across several areas and contains five people. We’re therefore looking for a confident leader with line management experience who is able to inspire, motivate and develop a talented and ambitious team to reach their full potential.
You will be a kind, supportive leader who cares about the people in their charge, but who also has high standards and that is able to performance manage when needed to ensure the team meets expected standards and delivers expected results.
We are looking for someone with exceptional written and verbal communication skills; an ability to interpret complex information and present it in a concise and accessible manner; and with experience of delivering high quality research and policy output.
With responsibility for leading on several projects, both within the team and cross-organisationally, prior project management experience and knowledge will be important, as will the ability to liaise with stakeholders at all levels.
Knowledge or prior experience within Higher Education or the student movement would certainly be an advantage, but is not essential and we very much welcome applications from those outside students’ unions who have transferrable skills and a who possess a willingness to learn.
We want to be the best, and for that we want to recruit the best. If you share our ambition and want to join a fun, supportive team seeking to set the benchmark for excellence in the sector, we would love to hear from you.
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.
Benefits and Perks
In return for your passion and experience we offer:
● 25 days holidays per year
● Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter on top of your 25 days annual leave and bank holidays
● Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership, advice from dedicated sports professionals, wth a wide range of activities including yoga classes, dance classes, pilates classes available free for SU staff
