About the team
The Legislation, Strategy and Coordination team acts as the Commission's central hub for electoral reform activity. The team brings together colleagues from across the organisation to coordinate responses to legislative developments and ensure changes are implemented effectively and consistently.
The team works closely with colleagues from Electoral Administration, Regulation, Communications and other specialist functions, providing a unique opportunity to build relationships across the organisation and gain exposure to a broad range of policy, legislative and strategic work.
The team is relatively small, collaborative and highly visible, providing significant opportunities for individuals to contribute, develop and make a tangible impact. You'll work closely with senior leaders, policy specialists and government officials, helping shape the Commission's approach to delivering electoral reform.
