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 continue to deliver our five-year UK Corporate Plan and develop our Corporate Plan for Scotland, the Commission is building on a period of growth and change, expanding our workforce and modernising how we deliver our services to better support the needs of a changing democracy. As our organisation develops and adapts to meet future challenges, this post will play a vital part in supporting that progress and helping ensure we remain responsive to the democratic needs of voters, campaigners, parties and electoral administrators across the UK.

We believe people do their best work when they have the flexibility, support and recognition they need to thrive. That's why we offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements that help colleagues balance work and personal commitments, supported by a flexi-time scheme that gives greater autonomy over the working day. With generous leave allowances, a highly competitive Civil Service pension and performance-related pay, our benefits package is designed to support your wellbeing, reward your contribution and provide security for the future.

Job description

About the role

As a Senior Regulation & Campaigning Officer, you'll provide advice, guidance and support to a diverse range of political stakeholders across Scotland. You'll help interpret and explain complex regulatory requirements, support compliance with electoral law, and contribute to the Electoral Commission's wider work in Scotland.

No two days are the same. You might be responding to enquiries from campaigners, delivering guidance to political stakeholders, representing the Commission at meetings and events, or supporting work on emerging electoral and political finance issues.

This role offers exposure to high-profile and politically sensitive matters, making it an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys stakeholder engagement, problem-solving, and is interested in developing specialist expertise in electoral law.

The Office

Our Edinburgh office is based in the Quay building in Fountainbridge, offering a modern and welcoming place to work. Colleagues here will have access to an on-site gym, and the office benefits from impressive views across the city, including Edinburgh Castle. The building sits alongside the Union Canal, providing a pleasant setting for lunchtime walks or time outdoors, with a range of shops, cafés and amenities close by.

The office is conveniently located around a 12‑minute walk from Haymarket station, with excellent rail connections as well as frequent bus and tram services, making it easy to commute from across the city and beyond. Combined with our flexible and hybrid ways of working, the Quay building offers an attractive, well-connected and comfortable working environment.

About the team

You'll join a supportive and collaborative team of six colleagues within our Devolution and Law Directorate.

The Scotland team plays a key role in ensuring the views and needs of stakeholders across Scotland are understood and reflected in the Commission's work. We provide expert insight into Scotland's political and electoral environment, helping to support effective regulation, stakeholder engagement and well-run elections.

We're committed to creating an environment where colleagues can grow, learn from one another, and make a visible impact through meaningful work.

Person specification

Who were looking for

We're interested in people who can bring strong transferable skills and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

You may have worked in regulation, compliance, governance, public affairs, policy, customer engagement, stakeholder relations, public sector organisations, or another environment where you've had to build relationships, influence others, and communicate complex information clearly.

To be successful, you'll be able to demonstrate:

Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective working relationships.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Confidence engaging and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
A proactive approach to learning and developing new knowledge and expertise.
Strong attention to detail and sound judgement.
Political impartiality

Knowledge of Scotland's political and electoral landscape would be advantageous, but it is not essential. We will provide training and support to help you develop the specialist knowledge needed to succeed in the role.

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 a unique opportunity to:

Build specialist expertise in electoral law and political finance.
Develop relationships with key stakeholders across Scotland's democratic and political landscape.
Work on interesting, varied and high-profile issues.
Be part of a supportive and inclusive team environment.
Make a genuine contribution to strengthening confidence in democracy.

If you're looking for a role where you can apply your transferable skills, continue learning, and make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.

We offer a strong total reward package, including:

Flexible working and hybrid model for office-based staff, with a minimum of 40% of working time spent in the office
Flexi-time scheme, allowing flexible hours with the option to accrue and take flexi leave
28 rising to 30 days annual leave + bank holidays.
Civil Service pension scheme (28.97% employer contribution)
Performance-related pay
