The Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa promotes independent academic research and teaching; open and issue-oriented debate; and evidence-based policy making across LSE. The Centre accomplishes this by connecting different social science disciplines and by working in partnership with Africa bringing African voices to the global debate. The Programme for African Leadership (PfAL) aims to bring together bright and ambitious African post-graduate students at LSE, to support their development into value-driven and effective leaders through a structured set of activities and events, and to create an alumni network whose members are committed to having a direct and positive impact on the lives in African communities.

 

The PfAL Programme Officer will support the PfAL Programme Manager in co-ordinating the programme’s wide range of operational and developmental activities, with a focus on communications and alumni engagement. A key aspect of this role will involve cultivating positive relationships with stakeholders such as students, alumni, donors and faculty, ensuring a high quality of service at all times.

 

Candidates should have experience in event organisation, community engagement, web content management systems, and excellent proof-reading skills.
