Based in the London School of Economics and anchored with a £50 million philanthropic gift, the 100x Impact Accelerator aims to leverage the research within the LSE to identify critical gaps and levers within pressing social sectors, and then find social enterprises with solutions to those problems.
The Programme Manager will be responsible for the full delivery and management of a first-of-its-kind venture acceleration programme for social enterprises (non-profit and for-profit), working with other members of the Accelerator team to guarantee a high-quality social enterprise experience from programme enrolment through to completion. The role will involve managing a world-class structured accelerator programme responsive to the needs of social ventures, sourcing and liaising with delivery partners, providing tailored coaching and support to social enterprises.

· The ability to manage a varied workload, coordinate a range of tasks and activities, and to prioritise a range of tasks effectively to consistently meet deadlines.
· The ability to adopt a proactive approach and use own initiative by suggesting new mechanisms to develop the programme.
For this role we offer hybrid working with the expectation being 60% on-campus working and 40% homeworking. During busy periods, for example when ventures are around, the post holder could be required to work on campus 100%.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
