100x Impact is a global initiative based at the LSE Marshall Institute that supports and scales social innovations capable of improving millions of lives. In its next strategic phase (2025–2030), 100x is evolving into a global platform for insight, influence, and evidence on what drives social innovations to scale. Communications will play a central role in this transformation.
The Head of Communications will lead the development and delivery of 100x’s communications strategy, shaping how the organisation tells its story to the world and ensuring its insights reach the audiences best placed to drive systemic change. The postholder will be responsible for strengthening 100x’s visibility, credibility, and influence among priority stakeholders including funders, policymakers, academic partners, and the wider social innovation ecosystem. They will oversee the organisation’s channels, brand, content, media presence, and strategic campaigns, ensuring that 100x communicates with clarity, coherence, and ambition.
Candidates should have significant senior-level experience leading communications in a complex organisation, platform, or networked environment, with responsibility for strategy, positioning, and institutional narrative, as well as a proven track record of developing and delivering communications strategies that support influence, credibility, and engagement with senior stakeholders.
Candidates should also have demonstrated experience acting as a senior editorial authority, shaping, sequencing, and approving high-profile narratives, insight outputs, or thought-leadership materials, and experience overseeing and strategically directing communications channels rather than solely delivering content.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave, hybrid working, and excellent training and development opportunities.
