- Communicating with, and influencing regulators, to ensure they keep their entries on the Register up to date, understand what is needed from them, and able to persuade them to engage.
- Supporting the delivery of an enhancement programme for the Register, including managing the team’s relationship with an external commercial supplier.
- Establishing strong working relationships within the department, including other policy directorates with an interest in the Register, as well as with analysts, lawyers, and ministerial Private Offices.
- Supporting work on legislation, which may include working with lawyers to draft regulations, and managing the parliamentary process to take legislation through parliament, as required.
- Preparing written briefing and advice to senior officials and ministers; contributing to briefings as required; ensuring relationships with regulators and chartered bodies are upheld and delivering for the whole team.
- Contributing to work within the wider team.
