Join to apply for the Legal and Regulatory Advisor role at RSSB
RSSB is recruiting for a Legal and Regulatory Advisor to provide appropriate expertise on rail safety, interoperability and other relevant frameworks to RSSB’s customers and internal stakeholders.
One of RSSB’s functions is to develop railway standards on behalf of the railway industry in Great Britain. Standards are an agreed way of doing something. They support the railway to function as a whole system, help manage risks, open markets, and reduce costs as the industry does not have to keep reinventing the wheel.
The Standards Management, Policy and Strategy team leads three workstreams to support the development of railway standards:
* The ‘standards management’ workstream looks after and implements the governance arrangements for developing standards and monitors compliance. It also develops, manages and seeks continuous improvement of internal policies, processes and procedures.
* The ‘standards delivery’ workstream leads on economic assessments and supports the development of business cases to change standards. It also provides technical expertise on regulatory policy to projects and cross-industry committees.
* The ‘policy and strategy’ workstream sets the strategic direction for the future development of standards, influencing changes to legislation related to standards.
As a Legal and Regulatory Advisor, you will support the team's standards delivery workstream.
Responsibilities
* Provide expert legal and regulatory advice on rail safety, interoperability and other relevant frameworks to RSSB’s customers and internal stakeholders.
* Support end-to-end projects where the Standards Management, Policy and Strategy team is the technical lead.
* Actively engage with stakeholders from across the industry so RSSB’s outputs meet their needs and are accepted by cross-industry groups and committees.
* Support the preparation and presentation of legal and regulatory concepts to non-technical audiences.
* Support the delivery of RSSB’s commercial work programme.
* Support the team in implementing the Rail Standards Strategy and delivering the RSSB’s Business Plan commitments.
* Support the development of competence across the Directorate in legal and regulatory matters.
Qualifications
Essential
* A minimum of a 2:1 bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
