**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**
The Indigo Program has an integral role to play in the introduction of updated (and in some cases new) systems that underpin the way that the AEC operates. The importance of the program is not only evidenced by our ability to attract specialists and experts from across the nation, but the ongoing commitment that Government has made to ensure that the Program is a success.
This is a flagship Program for the AEC as nothing like it has ever been done before, making it a once-in-a-generation program of work, that directly impacts the delivery of democracy in Australia.
The Indigo Program Management Office Branch is pivotal to the successful delivery of the Indigo Program. It is the Branch that steers the direction of the Program ensuring that the Program meets its obligations to Government, while providing critical business support services across the Group.
The Indigo Governance and Assurance section undertakes a wide range of activities to support the effective and efficient operations of the program. The team prepares and review governance and program documents, undertakes whole-of-Program analysis and provides advice to Program and Senior Executive in a timely manner. Teams within the Indigo Governance and Assurance include Program Management, Assurance, Risk, Benefits and Governance.
**The Opportunity**
The Assistant Director, Governance and Assurance, will undertake a range of activities to support the effective and efficient functioning of the Indigo Program. Providing high level support to the Assistant Commissioner and Directors, this will include leading and managing a small team in the provision of a range of program management, planning, reporting, governance and assurance activities. This will require preparation and review of high-level documentation, analysis and advice.
The role will work closely with the Indigo and Enterprise Transformation Group leadership teams to ensure that work tasks are of high quality and completed on time. This role will also involve facilitating strategic activities for the Program, requiring engagement with internal stakeholders. The Assistant Director, Governance and Assurance will have excellent relationship management skills, forming and maintaining positive working relationships across the Enterprise Transformation Group and the agency.
To excel you’ll have:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to effectively communicate information to a range of audiences.
- Ability to drive high-quality outcomes in a dynamic environment.
- Strategic stakeholder management skills, with the ability to achieve outcomes with team members, colleagues and senior executive.
- Analysis and investigative skills, gathering information from a variety of sources, exploring new ideas, identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and identifying any critical gaps.
- Strong attention to detail and experience in managing quality assurance (writing, editing, proof reading) of high volumes of correspondence, briefs and reports.
- Experience effectively managing competing priorities and strategic directions, with an ability to remain calm under pressure and respond flexibly to change and uncertainty.
- Proven ability to make sensitive and complex decisions using professional judgement within legislative parameters and delegated authority.
Desirable skills
- Relevant tertiary qualifications in a related field.
- Experience working in, managing or co-ordinating projects or programs, preferably using an Agile methodology.
**Eligibility**
- AEC employees must be Australian citizens.
- Any person who is, and seen to be active in political affairs, and intends to publicly carry on this activity, may compromise the strict neutrality of the AEC and cannot be considered.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain a character clearance.
