Crynodeb
Smart Data is the secure sharing of consumer data, with their consent, to third parties to provide innovative services. Open Banking is currently considered the only live example of an arrangement comparable to a Smart Data; it enables consumers to use third party services to securely move and manage their money. Open Banking services are used by 9.7 million people in the UK and the ecosystem is worth more than £4 billion.
The Government has committed to enabling Smart Data schemes so that customers can ask for help from authorised third parties to better use the data about them.
The aim is to drive innovative new money management and other services.
Beyond the possibilities enabled by Smart Data in Open Banking, other potential initiatives include, amongst many others:
- Supporting grid-level energy demands, and saving consumers money, by using energy data to recommend the most cost or energy efficient times and locations to charge their electric vehicles.
- Health benefits and cost and time savings for consumers by providing data-driven insights to help them plan more affordable and more nutritious grocery shopping.
- Wage increases for gig workers, by providing data to help workers choose the best platform and to improve gig workers’ access to finance.
The team works to coordinate activities across Whitehall and public and private sector organisations to further Smart Data in a number of priority sectors, including banking, financial services, and telecoms. This includes progressing Smart Data legislation and brokering agreement across government on the institutional arrangements to support the policy in the long term.
The team is looking for a proactive, strategic thinker to support the design of the UK's international strategy on Smart Data. The UK is a global leader in this space, with countries looking to the UK for leadership and using the UK's Open Banking regime as a blueprint for success. In line with the government's mission to grow the economy, and wider trade priorities, we are looking to develop a strategy for international engagement and governance for the next 5-10 years.
Core responsibilities include:
- Supporting the design and delivery of the Smart Data international strategy. This will need to be designed in close collaboration with industry experts and a range of teams in other departments including DSIT, the FCDO, and DBT.
- Working with analysts to gather evidence on how global engagement on Smart Data can support UK businesses and further the UK’s mission on kick-starting economic growth and contribute to the UK's economic diplomacy objectives.
- Working with overseas DBT and FCDO teams and foreign businesses, central banks, regulators, and governments to identify opportunities to collaborate on the delivery of Smart Data.
- Ensuring the UK’s governance arrangements for Smart Data are enabling an attractive environment for inwards investment, and enabling UK exports of Smart Data services.
The team remains flexible to adapt to changing demands and workloads. Wider responsibilities include:
- Engaging and influencing stakeholders, building and maintaining the community of industry, Whitehall, and global stakeholders that are needed to drive forward Smart Data.
- Supporting Ministers in Parliamentary engagement, including providing last-minute oral briefings, and promptly responding to queries.
- Leading on commissions to further the policy area, including submissions and briefings.
- Continuous monitoring and regular reporting of deadlines, milestones, and risks of complex work streams.
