Job Description

Compliance Executive fixed term contract up to 12 months, open to flexible working

We are currently trialling a hybrid working model with a 60/40% split of working from home and at our offices in London EC1.   Our normal working hours are 35 hours per week however we support flexible working, particularly as we move out of the pandemic, and are very happy to talk to you before you apply about how we could meet your needs or to answer any other questions you may have.  

The Advertising Standards Authority is the UK’s independent advertising regulator and works to ensure that advertisements are legal, decent, honest and truthful. Our work includes acting on and investigating complaints as well as proactively monitoring and taking action against misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements and marketing communications.

We are seeking to recruit a Compliance Executive to help enforce ASA decisions and ensure that advertisers operate on a level playing field. Working in a fast-moving media, regulatory and political landscape, you will be a highly motivated individual, comfortable working in a diverse and challenging role involving compliance and enforcement work.

 

As well as enforcing decisions you will proactively monitor ads across different sectors and media to make sure standards are being maintained. When ads are found that clearly break the rules you will seek assurances that the ads are withdrawn or amended, as well as providing advice and guidance to help advertisers stick to the rules. In the event of non-compliance, you will apply the appropriate sanctions and, if necessary, manage referrals to our legal backstops. 

If an ASA ruling (a judgment, following investigation, on whether an ad breaks the advertising rules) has consequences for a whole sector, you will ensure that businesses are all playing by the same rules by contacting all advertisers in that sector to advise them of the changes they need to make to their advertising claims.  You will also undertake project work developing and evolving regulation of the advertising industry, as well as promoting the benefits of advertising regulation in external meetings, seminars and presentations.

To be successful in this role you will demonstrate your ability to learn quickly, work autonomously and find creative solutions to work related challenges. You must have an ability to collaborate effectively and develop strong relationships with colleagues, stakeholders and those we regulate alike. Good written and oral communication skills are essential.
