LSE Cities is preparing to launch a new leadership initiative for mayors and their teams. The European City Leadership Initiative (ECLI) is a pioneering programme to help mayors and their teams across the continent strengthen leadership skills, drive public sector innovation, and tackle complex urban challenges to deliver tangible results for residents in new ways. The programme is embarking on a four-year pilot initiative with opportunity for long-term expansion.

The post-holder will report to the Head of Programme, and work closely with the Academic Director, Policy Fellow for Executive Education and the Project Manager for Mayoral Leadership to develop and deliver a world-class leadership curriculum for city teams. The role will involve support of the design and delivery of a pioneering executive education training for city teams across Europe, delivered to a cohort of city teams from 30 European cities per year from 2025 onwards, each team gathering 10 city officials.
