Summary
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. A Bill will be introduced to establish an independent football regulator to ensure greater sustainability in the game and strengthen protections for fans.
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, included in the King's Speech, to establish an Independent Football Regulator 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.
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 creating a detailed implementation plan for the Independent Football Regulator (IFR) financial regulatory framework.
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:
- Ownership of specific policy workflows as part of the implementation plan, including development of policy, systems and internal processes necessary for the delivery of the financial regulatory regime.
- Consulting with stakeholders and experts to ensure that the financial regime is implemented successfully and takes account of the wider regulatory environment.
- Support the wider work of the team in designing the IFR’s regulatory approach to monitoring and supervision and to inform decisions around organisational design.
