London, United Kingdom techUK Full time

Job Title: Head of Telecoms and Spectrum Policy (Maternity Cover)
Location: London / Hybrid
Job Type: Maternity Cover (Fixed Term), Full Time
techUK & UK Spectrum Policy Forum overview:
Our Telecoms Programme brings together government, the regulator, telecom companies and stakeholders to help the UK maximise the benefits of adopting advanced communications services, maintain confidence in the security and resilience of our networks, and explore future telecoms. This is delivered through a mix of thought leadership, multilateral engagement and ecosystem building.
techUK houses several special purpose vehicles, including the UK Spectrum Policy Forum (SPF). The purpose of the Spectrum Policy Forum is to be a pro-active industry-led sounding board to UK Government and Ofcom on future policy and approaches on spectrum and a cross-industry agent for promoting the role of spectrum in society and the maximisation of its economic and social value to the UK.
We are seeking an experienced leader and driven individual to lead techUK's Telecoms workstream and the SPF.
This high-profile role provides an opportunity to develop crisp telecoms policy, regulatory and market development proposals to help grow the UK's connectivity sector and deliver world-class digital infrastructure. The successful candidate will be at the heart of key debates between government, regulators, and the increasingly diverse market segments with an interest in telecoms, as well as act as techUK's external voice on connectivity issues. This role would suit an articulate and enthusiastic individual, with the ability to lead engagement on policy consultations and the delivery of projects and events; balancing the campaign-based focus of techUK's telecoms programme with the more evidence and report-based work of the UK SPF.
The position requires the ability to work with a large and diverse selection of external stakeholders, manage work spanning the full range of telecoms policy issues, undertake and commission analysis of complex issues coupled with the ability to communicate and promote this analysis clearly and effectively to a broad audience.
You would be responsible for financial targets in these two areas as well as line management responsibility for two Programme Managers. You would report into the Director of Markets and be a part of techUK's senior management layer.
Provide strategic leadership, direction and management of the Communications Infrastructure and Services Programme and UK Spectrum Policy Forum, managing the work of the relevant Programme Managers
Deliver the financial targets for membership, retention and grant-funding as required
Champion and represent the views of techUK and its members during multilateral engagement with government departments and key stakeholders. Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in government, including the Department for Science, Technology and Innovation (DSIT), opposition, public sector bodies and the regulator
Be a knowledgeable, informed and trusted single point of contact for techUK staff and members on issues related to telecoms, digital infrastructure and spectrum
programme activity and content
Lead the development and management of projects, white papers, policy positions, briefings and consultation responses that aim to resolve shared challenges between the telecoms industry and the wider economy. This includes the commissioning of external research studies for the UK SPF
A strong interest in telecoms and spectrum policy, including the technologies and market dynamics within the digital infrastructure sector
A proven understanding of the key issues and challenges facing the UK telecoms sector, including the policy and regulatory approaches impacting the sector
In-depth knowledge of public policy and public affairs
Experience of responding to government and Parliamentary consultations including managing a consultation process and writing formal responses
Ability to develop and then effectively communicate messages to a broad range of stakeholders and draft policy positions on their behalf
Policy Manager, Public Affairs, Technology Programme Manager, Technology Policy Manager, Telecoms Programme Manager, Technology Policy Manager, Telecoms Advisor, Spectrum Policy, Spectrum Policy Manager may also be considered for this role.
