About the Electoral Commission

The Electoral Commission is the UKs independent body overseeing elections and regulating political finance. Everything we do is about ensuring trust, participation, and integrity in the democratic process.

As we progress through a bold new chapter under our five-year Corporate Plan, we are increasing our workforce and transforming how we plan and deliver core services. This post plays a central role in that journey.

Job description

About the role

As a Senior Advisor, you will play a key role in supporting political parties, campaigners and stakeholders in Northern Ireland to understand and comply with electoral law and political finance rules.

You will combine regulatory expertise with strong relationship management, helping to ensure elections are transparent, fair and trusted.

In this role, you will:

Provide clear, practical advice on political finance, campaign spending, donations, loans and reporting requirements
Support stakeholders to understand their legal responsibilities and key deadlines
Deliver engagement activity such as briefings, webinars and events ahead of elections
Act as a trusted point of contact for regulated entities across Northern Ireland
Manage compliance checking processes and support organisations to meet regulatory requirements
Identify emerging risks, issues or areas of confusion and share insights to improve our services
Contribute to the development of guidance, tools and resources for stakeholders

This is a varied and visible role where your work will directly support the integrity and transparency of elections.

About the team

You will be part of the Northern Ireland team within our Devolution and Law directorate. The team works closely with political parties, campaigners and public bodies to provide guidance, regulate political finance and support well-run elections.

We are a collaborative and supportive team, working closely with colleagues across the UK in Legal, Political Finance and Electoral Administration. We value openness, professionalism and shared learning, and we are committed to delivering work that has real public impact.

Person specification

Who were looking for

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with a range of stakeholders and can explain complex information clearly and confidently. You may come from a regulatory, policy, public sector or legal background, or have equivalent experience.

You will be someone who:

Can build effective working relationships and influence a range of audiences
Communicates clearly, both in writing and verbally
Is organised and able to manage competing priorities and deadlines
Uses sound judgement, particularly when handling sensitive or complex issues
Takes a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
Works well independently and as part of a team

You will also bring:

Experience of working in a regulatory or similar environment
Experience of interpreting legislation or complex guidance
Experience of producing clear written materials such as briefings or guidance
Confidence working with stakeholders and managing relationships

Knowledge of electoral law, political finance or the Northern Ireland political context would be helpful but is not essential. We welcome applicants who can demonstrate transferable skills and a willingness to learn.

Benefits

Alongside your salary of £40,031, The Electoral Commission contributes £11,596 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Find out what benefits a Civil Service Pension provides .

Why work for us?

This is an opportunity to work on issues that matter to democracy and public trust. You will gain exposure to a wide range of stakeholders and develop expertise in a unique regulatory environment.

We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment where you can develop your skills and progress your career.

We offer a strong total reward package, including:

Flexible working and hybrid model (40% office minimum)
28 rising to 30 days annual leave + bank holidays
Civil Service pension scheme (28.97% employer contribution)
Study support for professional qualifications
Ongoing learning and development opportunities
Ride2Work, eye care vouchers and more
