100x Impact is a world-leading initiative based at LSE, on a mission to scale social innovations that can transform hundreds of millions of lives.

The successful candidate will hold the whole picture of the CEO's priorities across 100x, the Marshall Institute and a wide external network, and be confident in challenging upwards on how their time is spent.

They will anticipate what's needed before it's asked for - from board papers to stakeholder briefings - and be trusted to represent the CEO with judgement and discretion. This exciting role offers the successful candidate the chance to be central to one of the world’s leading social impact initiatives.

Candidates should have experience of managing a complex professional agenda, including diary management and forward planning, inbox management, meeting prioritisation and follow-up, as well as tracking workflow, commitments and follow-up actions. They should also have experience of preparing briefing papers, stakeholder profiles, meeting packs, executive correspondence and supporting governance or leadership meetings (e.g. board meetings, advisory boards, SLT meetings), including papers, minutes and tracking of follow-up actions.

Candidates must have experience of planning and leading high-profile, multi-stakeholder events, round tables, visits or stakeholder convenings, including logistics, guest lists and briefing materials, as well as experience of handling confidential and sensitive information with discretion and tact.
