Institute Manager
Salary: from £53,949 to £62,160 pa inclusive with potential to progress to £69,073 pa inclusive of London allowance
Position Type: This is a full-time fixed term appointment for 12 months
Note: This role can be offered as secondment opportunity to enable existing employees to broaden their knowledge, experience and skills by transferring to a different team/department. Existing employees wishing to apply for this role as a secondment opportunity should discuss the role and seek agreement from their substantive manager in advance of their application.
The Marshall Institute at LSE works to improve the impact and effectiveness of private action for public benefit through research, teaching and catalysing action.
The Marshall Institute is also home to 100x Impact, the LSE-based initiative working to identify, support and scale bold ideas with the potential to transform social systems. While the Institute and 10x Impact have distinct programmes and teams, colleagues work alongside one another and operate through a shared governance structure. The Institute Manager will not be responsible for delivering 100x Impact’s programme, but will work within this integrated organisational environment and support the effective operation of the Institute as the home of both teams.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
