The Advertising Standards Authority is the independent, self-regulatory body for advertising in the UK and works to ensure that advertisements are legal, decent, honest and truthful.

To be successful in this role you will be flexible and able to manage your time successfully, as well as being able to conduct desk research, assimilate complex information and provide cogent and concise written analysis to tight deadlines.  You must have an ability to collaborate effectively and develop strong relationships with colleagues and stakeholders alike. Good communication and presentation skills are also essential, since the role entails reporting to decision-makers on potential changes as well as training industry practitioners on the rules. Some experience of working within committee processes would also be beneficial.
