The Electoral Integrity Programme (EIP) is a Tier A Government Major Programme which will implement the key commitments framed by the Elections Act 2022. The Programme has a substantial digital transformation element and continues to deliver new policy and processes to support the successful delivery of the Government’s vision.

The EIP works with a range of stakeholders including local government elections teams, the Electoral Commission, Ministers, parliamentarians, the devolved administrations, civil society organisations and other government departments.

- Providing valuable secretariat functions, including chairing and scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, minutes and action logs.
- Leading on internal communications regarding progress of the EIP, including producing regular written updates for circulation to stakeholders across organisations, and coordinating information sharing sessions.
- Working with teams across the department to understand and meet stakeholder engagement needs, responding quickly to requests and effectively managing multiple priorities.
- Maintaining an up to date picture of the priorities and concerns of key stakeholders, and an awareness of upcoming risks.
- Contributing to continuously reviewing existing communications and engagement strategies and proposing improvements to meet evolving priorities.
- Line management of one or more Higher Executive Officers (HEOs), providing direction and support where required.

**Person specification**:

- Essential:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience of translating complex messages into quality written products for a range of audiences, and the ability to produce high quality advice and briefings.
- Experience of leading on stakeholder management and communications.
- Excellent relationship management skills and the ability to build productive working relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders.
- Confidence to advise senior stakeholders on complex communications and strategic engagement workstreams.
- The ability to work under pressure to urgent or shifting deadlines, including the ability to work flexibly on quickly changing or multiple priorities.
- The ability to demonstrate effective leadership, and experience of managing people and/or workstreams.

Desirable:

- Experience working with Ministers and senior civil servants on complex and quickly evolving government policy matters.
- Confidence in representing our organisation's interests and the ability to understand potential sensitivities and wider political dimensions of key issues connected to the Electoral Integrity Programme.
