Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Electoral Commission Full time

Agency Purpose


The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.


The AEC's values and commitments
The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.

The Team


Delivery and Support Branch (DSB) is responsible for leading the AEC's preparation and delivery of electoral services and plays a key role in overseeing the delivery of election events, including federal elections, by-elections and referendums.


The branch initiates and implements bodies of work that includes tasking and supporting the agency in event preparation, managing electoral roll products and services for the AEC and third parties, the continuous improvement and modernisation of service delivery processes, management of significant election delivery projects and systems and engagement with major suppliers and other key stakeholders.


The Opportunity


As an Assistant Director within Delivery and Support Branch, you will lead the day-to-day management and overall delivery of tasks and projects relating to the successful conduct of an electoral event, including participating in section planning and aligning longer term projects and plans with agency goals and objectives.

You will manage and deliver large scale projects, build internal and external relationships, manage procurement processes, manage priorities, complete complex analysis of problems and data, anticipate stakeholder needs, provide advice to management and ensure quality outcomes.

During an electoral event there will be increased workloads, expectations and reduced timeframes for delivery.
