LOCATION: LSE Students’ Union, Central London Office
WORKING HOURS: Full time, 37 hours per week
CONTRACT TYPE: Fixed term, until 31st December 2026
 

 
This brand-new role is all about turning ideas into action. As our Strategic Projects Coordinator, you’ll be the driving force behind the successful delivery of high-impact projects and campaigns led by our elected Sabbatical Officers. You’ll work closely with the Officer team to plan, manage, and evaluate projects that shape the student experience – from defining objectives and establishing clear timelines to coordinating resources and mitigating risks. You can expect to navigate complex and politically sensitive environments, balancing the different priorities of our Officer team. 
 

Your work will include developing clear project roadmaps, implementing effective communication strategies to engage the student community, and supporting our Officers to engage with national campaigns that impact student wellbeing. You’ll also play a key role in advising Officers on policy changes, gathering data and insights to inform evidence-based initiatives, and reporting back on progress to senior leadership and trustees.
 

 
Beyond project delivery, you’ll provide training and coaching to help Officers develop strong leadership and project management skills, and you’ll coordinate flagship events such as handovers, inductions, and residentials. This is a fast-paced, varied role where your ability to research, organise and innovate will make a tangible difference to thousands of students.
 

 
Who are we?
 

LSESU is a vibrant, student-led organisation committed to helping LSE students make the most of the life-changing experiences open to them during their time at university. In this role you will play a critical role in shaping our future and helping us to create a student experience which is enjoyable and empowering. 

Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK. We provide support, representation, and opportunities to help students thrive during their time at university. Everything we do is shaped by our members and guided by our values to be bold and inclusive, working collaboratively to create a welcoming community built on integrity and respect.
 

 
Who are we looking for?
 

We’re looking for a confident and adaptable project professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’ll be highly organised, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities while keeping a clear focus on outcomes. Collaboration is key as you’ll need to build strong relationships with students, staff, and external partners in order to deliver projects successfully.
 

You’ll bring a proven track record in managing projects from start to finish. Your communication skills will set you apart – whether you’re drafting reports, presenting updates, or facilitating training, we are looking for someone who will do so with clarity and impact. You’ll also be comfortable interpreting data and feedback to inform decisions and improve processes.
 

We’d love to see experience in delivering training or coaching, as you’ll play a vital role in developing the leadership and project management skills of our Sabbatical Officers. Knowledge of the Higher Education sector and issues affecting students is essential, and a recognised project management qualification would be a bonus.
 

Why apply?
 

As our Strategic Projects Coordinator, you will have a chance to make a real impact on student life at one of the world’s leading universities. You’ll work in a collaborative, values-driven environment, supporting passionate student leaders and shaping initiatives that matter. We offer:
 

-        25 days of holiday per year (pro rata)
 

-        Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter

About PVRI

PVRI is a small charity with a global reach. Our aim is to reduce the global burden of Pulmonary Vascular Disease with a particular focus on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).

PH is a life-threatening and life-limiting condition that affects millions worldwide, but despite that, it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood. To change that, we bring together a fantastic network of many hundreds of PH doctors, academics, patients, and industry partners to identify and address the key global challenges in PH. In practical terms, we:

• Host international scientific conferences
• Produce an open-access peer reviewed academic journal, Pulmonary Circulation
• Run webinars and e-learning programmes
• Bring our members and networks together in over twenty working forums:
  • The Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI): eight multidisciplinary workstreams working to solve the challenges in PVD research and speed the development of new treatment
  • Specialty Task Forces: groups working to advance understanding and improve practice in specific clinical areas of PH
  • Regional Task Forces: working in-country to address the key regional and national challenges in PH

· Raise awareness of PH and advocate for better access to diagnosis, care and treatment - nationally and internationally

We’re London-based, and our small friendly staff team comprises our CEO Karen, Head of Operations & Impact Elvia, Head of Comms Debs, Marketing Officer Catherine, Project Coordinator Rachel and Admin Manager Katie. We work a flexible hybrid model, with office space in Work.Life, close to London Bridge and Borough Market.

Our values:  we’re open, inclusive and easy to engage with, and we’re ambitious for ourselves and for the global PVD community.

About the Advocacy & Engagement Lead (Global Health)

As Advocacy and Engagement Lead, you will be the bridge between our global professional network and local healthcare systems. You will scope areas of need, and work with key regional stakeholders to develop and implement plans for new PH services.

Key tasks include

· Developing roadmaps and care guidelines for the development of PH services in underserved regions

· Working directly with local healthcare leaders and PVRI Workstream and Task Forces to understand and navigate local health systems, influence policy and identify resources

· Supporting with targeted advocacy messages and global PH data including prevalence, health economics, etc.

This is an exciting new post, reporting to our Head of Operations & Impact.

About Julie’s Bicycle (JB)

JB is a leading non-profit putting climate action at the heart of culture. We believe that creativity is a powerful catalyst for change — and that the arts and cultural sector has a vital role to play in building a just, regenerative future.

For over 15 years, we’ve worked with artists, cultural institutions, funders, and policymakers to mobilise creative climate leadership and action through advocacy, research, policy influence, training, path-finding projects and community building. We champion climate justice, centre equity, and believe that environmental solutions must be driven by cultural shifts as well as systems change. For more information on all our programmes, please visit our website.

The Role

We’re seeking a visionary and collaborative Communications Lead to lead the next phase of our communications strategy. This role is about more than messaging — it’s about shaping a compelling and inspiring public voice for creative climate action.

You will be someone who thrives on the combination of ambitious strategic thinking and delivering content and projects on the ground.

You will collaborate with partner organisations to co-create communications, support joint campaigns, and ensure our voice is visible and aligned in the broader climate and culture movement.

Please note, this post is open to people who already have the right to live and work in the UK, as Julie’s Bicycle is not currently in a position to sponsor a work visa.

A note on AI

While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly. On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are. We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work. 

Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
