About the LSE Students’ Union
LSE Students' Union (LSESU) is a £5.6m not-for-profit organisation for LSE students. We've been part of the LSE community since 1897, and all LSE students automatically become LSESU members when they enrol.
We exist to:
- Support students holistically in terms of their academic and student experience, serving as an independent source of advice and advocacy.
- Help students shape and lead their own academic and student experience by providing opportunities that foster connection and engagement, building their skills and future careers.
- Use our influence to forge and create change in the interests of students within the institution, the community, and wider society, by empowering the students themselves.
We are emerging from a change programme which has seen us significantly enhance our culture, governance, and partnerships. We are proud to have positive morale internally, with 93% of staff feeling they are trusted and well respected at work. We have enhanced our Trustee board and enjoy a great level of support and engagement from Trustees.
Our new approach to building partnerships with LSE is working exceptionally well, including investing in dedicated partnerships management roles within our staff structure. We are also excited to be opening a newly refurbished commercial offer in the very near future.
About the role
We have set an ambitious strategy for 2030, which our team is enthusiastic about. Our vision is to be a union today, empowering every student to shape tomorrow. This is a journey about us transforming the educational journey and student experience of our members, setting a global standard for a world-class students’ union. Our plan has three core pillars focused on partnerships, advancing student voices, and creating a lifelong sense of identity.
We are seeking a new Chief Executive to drive this strategy and deliver a world-class students’ union.
Who we are looking for
