Summary
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. At present, the Shadow Football Regulator comprises over thirty members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer, undertaking a range of activities in preparation for passage of the Football Governance Bill, which is currently in Parliament.
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, 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.
We are looking for a Supervision Manager to join the Independent Football Regulator (IFR) in its shadow form to help advise and shape the organisation in parallel with Parliamentary passage of the associated legal framework.
The supervision function will sit at the heart of the Independent Football Regulator, undertaking core regulatory activity such as conducting financial analysis of the clubs, processing applications for licences as well as monitoring ongoing compliance with licence conditions and rules. It will also be a focal point for managing the IFR’s relationship with the clubs it regulates.
The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing the supervision function within the new organisation, building capability and the operational processes and controls necessary to ensure effective oversight of clubs within the scope of the new regulatory framework.
They will need to ensure close working with data, policy, legal and enforcement teams so that regulatory oversight is effective and coherent and that the IFR’s board is supported to take robust regulatory decisions.
