Summary
Do you care about the safety of products and want to protect people and places? Can we use your skills, knowledge and experience to enable UK business to thrive? If the answer is yes, then we would like to hear from you!
We are the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), part of the Department for Business & Trade (Previously the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy). We are here for the purpose of making regulation work to deliver real world impact. Regulation is a powerful Government tool to address market failures, influence behaviour and promote positive action. Crafted and delivered well, regulation can be an enabler of growth, innovation and efficiency.
Since early 2018 we have been building a positive and creative team that enjoys a position of influence and respect within an organisation that continues to grow, most recently with the addition of construction products regulation planned.
Our primary purpose is to protect people and places from product-related harm, ensuring consumers and businesses can buy and sell products with confidence.

The Regulatory Information and Intelligence Team is a key support function within OPSS sitting in the Targeting Area, responsible for collecting, collating and analysing information and intelligence to produce and disseminate products which help shape and support OPSS regulatory decision-making at all levels.
We are seeking a Senior Regulatory Information and Intelligence Analyst who can add to the diversity and scope of the Unit, and help embed our reporting and intelligence capability supporting the production of intelligence products and data analysis across the team.
This is an exciting opportunity for a focused individual with established skills in intelligence, the management of information and linked reporting, or a regulatory background. The postholder will help keep consumers safe as an integral part of a team supporting OPSS’s key objective of protecting people and places from product-related harm.
As one of six senior leads within the team, you will play a central role in analysing information and intelligence received into the Unit. You will lead the production of products by developing intelligence using established analytical and intelligence techniques, data interrogation and open-source research. A crucial aspect of the role will be supporting the development of the Product Safety Database (PSD), driving forward priority developments with relevant OPSS teams.
