London, United Kingdom Bank of England Full time

**Communications and Engagement Officer, Digital Pound Project**

- **(**010561**)**

**Primary Location** UK-ENG-London

**Job** Banking Operations

**Organisation** 240101 - CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY DIVISION

**Job Posting** 13-Mar-2024, 2:08:18 PM

**Job Description - External**

The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people.

The Bank of England is a diverse organisation. Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

**Department Overview**
Like many other central banks, the Bank of England is actively exploring whether it should develop and issue a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Unlike cash, CBDC would be a digital form of money; unlike bank deposits, it would be a direct liability of the central bank rather than the private sector; and unlike reserves, CBDC would be widely accessible for retail use.

The CBDC Project Unit is responsible for analysing the opportunities and challenges presented by CBDC, advancing the Bank’s broader strategy and, ultimately, the decision on whether it should issue one.
- The project’s main activities are:

- analysis of the monetary policy and financial stability risks and opportunities of CBDC, as well as its broader economic design choices;
- analysis of the potential use cases of CBDC and understanding which are likely to present the greatest net benefits;
- international collaboration through bilateral and multilateral engagement with other central banks - the Bank of England actively participates in the analytical workstreams on CBDC of the BIS-hosted group of central banks and also the payments workstreams of the UK’s G7 presidency in 2021;
- external engagement and collaboration with government authorities to advance wider public policy issues around CBDC, including competition, data and privacy;
- work around functional design to determine what features a CBDC should have for consumers and merchants to ensure it is widely used and accepted;
- external engagement and desk-based research to understand the technology design choices available to us and to assess which to take.

The Strategic Payments Group (SPG), co-chaired by DGFS, DGMB&R and attended by the Bank’s Executive Directors, provides oversight of the CBDC project, so there is significant engagement and visibility with the top of the Bank. The project also works extensively with other areas of the Bank - including ID, MA, FSSR, Markets, BPI, Technology and FMID - so cross-Bank working is regular. The CBDC Unit also liaises extensively with HM Treasury.

This is a great opportunity for someone to shape the Bank’s work on a set of issues at the heart of central banking. The role offers a number of areas for career development. It involves the chance to provide thought leadership to a priority topic for the Bank, deliver innovative and original analysis, collaborate and work across boundaries, and engage with the most senior members of the Bank’s leadership team.

**Job description**

The vacancy is in the Digital Pound Project Communications and Engagement team. The jobholder will play an important role in ensuring that external stakeholders and members of the public understand the Bank’s work on a potential digital pound, and have the information and opportunities they need to help shape its design.

This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated professional to work on a project with significant public policy implications and a high level of public interest. The digital pound project is a fast-moving and complex. Effective communications and stakeholder engagement will have a significant impact on the project, ensuring that the Bank of England and HM Treasury are able to design the right digital pound for the UK should one be required.

In helping to drive forward the work of the communications and engagement team, you will gain experience navigating complex stakeholder environments and high-profile public policy discussions to deliver genuinely impactful engagement.

Key responsibilities and areas of work will include:

- Supporting delivery of the existing stakeholder forums that the CBDC Unit owns, including the Engagement Forum, Technology Forum, and working groups. This will include scheduling meetings, communicating with Forum members, helping shape agendas, producing Forum materials, and drafting minutes.
- Organising and attending meetings and roundtables with external stakeholders, including businesses, financial institutions, and civil society and consumer groups.
- Organising webinars for industry audiences, including organising technical logistics, drafting invitations and identifying and inviting attendees, preparing slides, and briefing speakers.
- Maintaining a tracker of key external meetings, events, and public speaking engagements.
