Summary

Shadow Football Regulator

We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. At present, the Shadow Football Regulator is made up of circa 50 members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer.

The team is undertaking a range of activities in preparation for the legal establishment of the IFR, which was created when the Football Governance Act became law in July.

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 the IFR will be up and running as soon as possible.

The intention for this role is to transfer to the IFR once it is 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 recruiting 3 x Senior Supervision Analysts to join the Shadow Football Regulator (SFR).

Responsibilities include:

  • Lead and manage a team of supervision analysts to deliver a range of supervisory duties effectively.
  • Oversee the team's handling of regulatory cases, ensuring compliance and directly managing escalated cases/decisions/stakeholders.
  • Frequent stakeholder engagement, primarily with regulated football clubs but also competitions, fans and other related parties.
  • Contribute to supervisory strategies, making proposals and gaining agreement from seniors through appropriate governance structures.
  • Monitor and evaluate team performance against KPIs, and drive improvements.
  • Identify team training needs and support staff development.
  • Manage team resources, including staff time and budgets, efficiently.
  • Ensure the team adheres to regulations, policies, and procedures.
