Director of Reviews, Strategy & Engagement

Salary: £83,904, rising to £86,505 after the first year

Location: Hybrid - London office/remote working

We may be small in size, but we play a vital role in setting the foundations for local democracy across England.

We are an independent body, directly accountable to Parliament .

Our main responsibility is to conduct electoral reviews by considering the electoral boundaries of local authorities in England and recommending any changes to Parliament. In delivering high-quality reviews that take account of local communities and their needs, we are reliant on our team of skilled and dedicated staff, from those working directly on reviews and our communications, to those providing our finance, IT and HR services.

As part of our ongoing development, this new role in our senior leadership team will lead the reviews and communications functions, developing operational strategy and plans for the Commission, and ensuring they are aligned with our organisation's strategic objectives.

We are seeking an authentic leader, with experience of driving a culture of continuous improvement and a track record of delivering operational excellence, ensuring efficiencies and identifying opportunities for innovation. You will be adept at building strong relationships, including with our committed and skilled staff, our Board, and our stakeholders, and be able to combine strategic thinking, corporate leadership and hands-on delivery. While prior experience of local government is not essential, you will have a strong interest in, and understanding of, local government in England.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope you will want to join us and play a leading part in the Commission as we enter our next exciting phase.
