London, United Kingdom Advertising Standards Authority Full time

We have an exciting opportunity for a Public Affairs Adviser to join us and be our day-to-day contact for UK and devolved government officials, parliamentarians, legislators and wider public affairs stakeholders.

**The role**

Reporting to the Media and Public Affairs Manager, you will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with key political stakeholders, informing them about our role and remit, and promoting the effectiveness of the ASA system.

You will lead our public affairs work in Westminster and the devolved institutions, developing and implementing proactive engagement plans on key policy areas, such as advertising to children, online advertising, gambling, alcohol and vaping ads.

You will provide political intelligence and analysis to senior colleagues, particularly where government policy developments overlap with or potentially impact on our regulation, responding to consultations and parliamentary inquiries as required.

**About you**

We are looking for a proactive, dynamic and enthusiastic Public Affairs Adviser. You will have an understanding of the architecture and operations of Westminster, Whitehall and the devolved institutions. You will need to be a confident and effective communicator with the ability to engage directly with officials and elected politicians. Experience of writing policy briefings and consultation responses is required, and you will have excellent attention to detail and a focus on quality.

Some experience of working with the media and an appreciation of the relationships between the media, Whitehall and Parliament would be advantageous.

How to apply: If you are interested in applying, please review the job description below and complete the online questions outlining how you meet the requirements of the role and how you can contribute to the success of the ASA.

INDMED

We are the UK’s independent frontline regulator of ads by legitimate businesses and other organisations in all media, including online. We are authoritative and influential on ad regulation; the centre of expertise. The rules we administer and enforce are contained in the UK Advertising Codes, written by the industry Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP). To help maintain our independence from the industry that funds us, we are primarily funded at arm’s length by the Advertising Standards Boards of Finance (Asbof). Together, the ASA, CAP and Asbof make up the ASA system.

Our purpose is to make sure ads are responsible. Our ambition is to make sure every UK ad is a responsible ad. Our values are to be proactive, collaborative, accountable, transparent and decisive. We want external stakeholders to find us to be: independent in administering the Codes; evidence-based, proportionate, targeted and consistent; and reflective of society, not a social engineer.

We are passionate about what we do because responsible ads are good for people, good for society and good for business. They entertain and inform us, helping us to choose products and services. They fund the media, sport and culture we all enjoy. They can be a force for social good, encouraging us to contribute to good causes, make more responsible choices and stay safe. And they help deliver competition and power the economy. By making sure ads are responsible, we protect people from being misled, harmed or offended, helping them feel more confident in the ads they see and hear.
