Canberra, 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 be required to manage and support multiple staff within their section as well as coordinate working groups as required.

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.

Permanent opportunities are currently available in National Event Management section and Centre of Event Expertise section.

We are also seeking interest from individuals looking for an opportunity to work with the AEC in the future as positions become available across the Delivery and Support Branch and wider AEC.

These positions are based in Canberra but outposting may be considered.

To excel you’ll have:

- Proven ability to lead the design and delivery of large-scale, user-focused and quality projects or tasks to achieve strategic goals.
- Sound knowledge and experience in successfully managing and delivering results within tight time restraints and with competing priorities.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and manage staff while developing capabilities, encouraging career development and embedding professionalism.
- Proven ability to communicate with influence, negotiate outcomes and manage complex stakeholder relationships, including across a geographically dispersed network.
- Proven conceptual and analytical abilities with sound knowledge of change management practices and techniques to enable innovation.
- Ability to operate within a dynamic and challenging environment, remain positive and respond to pressure and change in an agile and productive manner.
- Technical knowledge and experience in electoral legislation and operational requirements or the ability to quickly acquire it.

**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.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain the Baseline security clearance required for this role.
