Summary
You will have overarching responsibility for ensuring dormant assets funding across four financial services sectors can be unlocked for good causes. This role is perfect for someone who is an exemplary communicator: your ability to build strong and trusted relationships with senior stakeholders will be critical to the Scheme’s success.
Our team works flexibly and often has to absorb new policy priorities, which means you will need to cover wider policy issues as they emerge. Current key deliverables include:
Maintain strong working relationships with senior stakeholders across the ecosystem, notably including financial services firms, Reclaim Fund Ltd, and HM Treasury colleagues
Develop and implement a participation and engagement strategy
Support work to unblock current barriers to participation
Lead work to consider other types of dormant assets for future inclusion in the Scheme
Work alongside another Grade 7 on dormant assets distribution policy, ensuring industry views are appropriately fed into decision-making processes and covering their role when needed
Person specification
The ideal candidate would have the following key skills and experience:
Essential requirements:
Communicating and influencing: Build strong relationships of trust with an array of senior stakeholders – both internally and externally. Communicate purpose and direction with clarity, integrity and enthusiasm. Take complex information and explain it a way that is easy to understand.
Leadership: Shape this agenda and drive progress across multiple boundaries. Proven track record in providing strong leadership and bringing others along with you.
Working at pace and flexibly: Work with a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, demonstrating excellent resilience and intellectual curiosity to respond to shifting requirements. Collaborate as part of a team in a changing environment, taking responsibility for delivering timely and quality results.
Seeing the big picture: Understand the strategic drivers for your work and be proactive in developing your and the team’s knowledge, aligning with other priorities where possible.
Desirable skills:
Experience working with or in financial services would be desirable, but not essential.
We are running an information session where prospective applicants can find out more about the role. This will be hosted by Taryn Cornell (Interim Head of Dormant Assets), and will take place on 16:00–17:00 Tuesday 4 June 2024.
The session will be an opportunity to hear more about the role, the team and wider directorate and the department. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions.
