Summary
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.
These roles are being recruited on a loan or fixed term basis for 12 months with the possibility to extend. This role will be based in DCMS on an interim basis. Subject to the overall progress of the programme, the intention for this role is to transfer to the Football Regulator once fully established.
Please note that this role will be based in Greater Manchester, which is where the Regulator will be based - an exact location has yet to be determined.
This is a unique opportunity to join the team that is shaping the new regulator and regulatory regime for football governance. The shadow football regulator team is scoping out how to translate legislative requirements into an effective regulatory regime that will improve the financial sustainability of clubs, and promote and protect fan interests.
This role will be focused on scoping the delivery of a proportionate and effective licensing regime. The licensing regime will be key to the delivery of the regulation, and you will be part of a team tasked with developing a coherent licensing framework, that considers regulatory best practice, as well as the specific football industry landscape.
We are looking for a highly-motivated policy professional, ideally with a background in regulatory policy delivery. An understanding of the football industry is also desirable.
Responsibilities include:
- Supporting the scoping and development of the implementation of a proportionate and effective licensing regime for the Independent Football Regulator.
- Leading on specific aspects of the licensing regime implementation, developing policy proposals and processes to implement the licensing process.
- Consulting with stakeholders and experts to ensure the licensing regime takes account of both wider regulatory practices, and the specific football industry landscape.
- Engaging cooperatively across the wider shadow football regulator team, including with individual policy and systems leads, to ensure a coordinated approach to implementation.
- Building a thorough understanding of the legislative requirements placed on the regulator, to ensure they are effectively implemented.
