2 days ago

United Kingdom Ofcom Full time €3,500

Management Level:


Non-Executive Director (Fixed Term)

Please note that this role will close at 00:01 on Monday 13 January, and therefore we advise getting your application in by no later than midnight on Sunday 12 January.

As a part of our remit, we have responsibilities to make online services safer for the people who use them. We make our regulatory decisions independently.
To support our work, we are looking to appoint Members for Ofcom’s new Advisory Committee on Disinformation and Misinformation, which is a statutory body we are required to establish under Section 152 of the Online Safety Act of 2023.

The Online Safety Act requires the Committee to provide advice to Ofcom on:
the exercise of our transparency powers so far as relating to disinformation and misinformation (under section 77 of the Online Safety Act); We expect the Committee to act as a critical friend, advising us to ensure that our work is grounded in evidence, takes into consideration the interests of UK online users, and considers the impacts of our work on regulated services. Experience in producing high-quality and policy-influencing research or work, in particular related to disinformation, misinformation, foreign interference, or related areas.
Experience in analysing or countering issues related to online foreign interference, state-sponsored disinformation or influence operations, or related areas.
Experience in the processes used in traditional media, or providers of online services which may be in-scope of the UK’s Online Safety Act, in particular around disinformation or misinformation.
Experience in or knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, including, for example, how such systems can be used to create and spread disinformation and misinformation, and how they could also be deployed by platforms to address it.
Expertise in promoting media literacy knowledge skills and behaviours – either as a practitioner, academic, user experience (UX) designer or product developer.

Panel Members are part-time and drawn from a range of diverse backgrounds. We are seeking applications from people who can contribute relevant experience and help create a diversity of perspective and background on the Panel.
The Panel operates on a hybrid-working basis but the role could include some travel to London. This includes holding, or being a candidate for, party political office at a national, regional or local level, active political campaigning in support of a political party and making a donation or donations to a political party in a calendar year in excess of £7,500. Working full time for any central government department or as an official in the civil service (including in the devolved nations) or for local government is also not acceptable.

Potential or actual conflicts of interest from a financial or business perspective must be declared and discussed at interview. Please note, the disclosable interests of all Ofcom Board, Committee and Panel members are published on the Ofcom website . Interviews will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday 4 February, Thursday 6 February and Friday 7 February.

The interview panel will comprise Lord Allan of Hallam, Jessica Zucker (Online Safety Policy Development Director) and Libby Watkins (Independent Panel Member). To be able to deliver on this, we want our organisation to reflect the diversity of background, experience, upbringing and thought that exists across the UK. We aim to recruit from the widest pool of candidates possible – no matter your social background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender or disability. 

Where positions are listed as full-time, we remain open to reduced hours, part-time arrangements, job shares, and other flexible working options. From day one, we champion flexible work arrangements to accommodate individual needs.

As a Disability Confident employer, we offer interviews to disabled applicants who meet essential criteria for advertised roles.
