Summary
Company Law & Governance directorate is responsible for UK company law, corporate governance and reporting, which are core to providing a stable climate for investment and growth. This is an exciting time to join: Ministers are keen to develop policy that will improve the UK’s corporate reporting and governance framework to support long term growth and encourage responsible corporate behaviour.
In the corporate responsibility policy role, you will be supporting two Grade 7s across a variety of exciting policy areas, including leadership diversity, executive pay reporting and the digitisation of paper shares.
We are a friendly, inclusive and collegiate directorate with a strong programme of learning & development – to help people learn more about the subject matter, succeed in their current roles and achieve their career potential.
We are looking for an engaging and energetic team player who is equally confident working within the detail of specific policy development projects, as well as across a range of policy boundaries. There will also be ample opportunity to deliver on policy work and build relationships with high profile stakeholders and external partners. You will have a key role in supporting the delivery of a high-profile White Paper next year that will set out a vision for the future of corporate reporting in the UK.
Responsibilities will include:
- Supporting policy development and stakeholder engagement across a range of high profile corporate governance topics, including the UK Stewardship Code; Executive Pay; Digitisation, the FTSE Women Leaders Review and the Parker Review.
- Managing relationships across both Government departments and external business and regulatory stakeholders, in addition to working closely with analytical and legal teams for the development of robust policy advice for ministers.
- Working closely with the Non-Financial Reporting policy team, and the delivery of a high profile White Paper, setting out a vision for the future of corporate reporting in the UK.
- Given the nature of various points of Ministerial interest across the corporate governance landscape, this role could evolve over time to meet the changing priority of respective workstreams.
