Head of Legal, Shadow Football Regulator
3 months ago
Job summary
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. A Bill will be introduced to establish an independent football regulator to ensure greater sustainability in the game and strengthen protections for fans.
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, included in the King's Speech, to establish an Independent Football Regulator 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.
Job description
We are looking for a Head of Legal to join the Independent Football Regulator in its shadow form to help advise and shape the organisation in parallel with Parliamentary passage of the associated legal framework.
At present, the shadow regulator comprises over twenty members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer, undertaking a range of activities in preparation for passage of the Football Governance Bill. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing the legal function within the new organisation, determining the right balance between in-house and outsourced provision, and work collaboratively with others in considering
how best to operationalise the provisions of the Bill. They will also support the Chair (designate) when they are appointed and advise on on a wide range of legal matters such as contracts, regulatory compliance, litigation, employment law, intellectual property and corporate governance.
The Head of Legal will also be expected to work collaboratively with the sponsor department, DCMS, as well as with a variety of other bodies, including within the football industry.
We are running an information session where prospective applicants can find out more about the role. This will be hosted by Martyn Henderson and Simon Regis, and will take place on:
Tuesday 27th August - 14:30-15:30
The session will be an opportunity to hear more about the role, the team and wider directorate and the department.�
It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the application, and the interview and assessment process.�
and you will be sent an invitation.�
This will take place virtually, via Google Meets.�
