Shadow Football Regulator
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. At present, the Shadow Football Regulator comprises over thirty members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer, undertaking a range of activities in preparation for passage of the Football Governance Bill, which is currently in Parliament.
The Shadow Football Regulator is a dedicated team within DCMS which is responsible for setting up the Independent Football Regulator. It is ensuring the regulator has the right skills, governance and corporate functions so it can start work as soon as possible after the Bill receives Royal Assent.
This post, and its recruitment, is dependent on progress of the Bill, and the intention is for this role to transfer to the Regulator once it's legally established.
Please note that the Independent Football Regulator will be based in Greater Manchester but an exact location has yet to be determined.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate to lead the Policy & Strategy function in the IFR, delivering smooth implementation of the regulatory framework as the organisation takes shape and develops its core regulatory functions.
The Policy & Strategy team’s role is to develop the regulatory tools, policies and frameworks needed to make the new regulatory regime a success, including policy consultations, licence conditions, rules and guidance.
Operating across a wide range of policy topics including financial regulation, licensing, fan engagement and corporate governance you will be expected to set direction and lead your team towards strong policy outcomes, working collaboratively with football stakeholders to deliver the intent of the Football Governance Bill.
The successful candidate will play a crucial role in setting the regulatory strategy for the IFR, helping the board and other decision makers set clear goals and deliver robust and evidence based decisions.
