**Job summary**:
**Shadow Football Regulator**

We lead Government’s work on the future governance of football. In 2021 the government commissioned a Fan-Led Review of Football Governance to explore ways of improving the sustainability of English football in order to protect vital community assets. The Review was published later that year and highlighted the need for reform.

The Government published a White Paper setting out a comprehensive plan to introduce an independent regulator for English football clubs to put fans back at the heart of football and help to deliver a sustainable future for all clubs. The Football Governance Bill was introduced in March.

The Shadow Football Regulator was announced alongside the publication of the Bill and is responsible for preparatory work to support the set up of the football regulator.

The government has committed to setting up an independent football regulator to improve the financial sustainability of clubs, for the benefit of their fans and the communities they serve. To help deliver on this commitment, an interim team is being formed to start to undertake preparatory activity ahead of the statutory body being established. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that will be shaping a new regulatory regime and the systems and organisation that will deliver it.

These roles are being recruited on a loan or fixed term basis for 12 months with the possibility to extend. This role will be based in DCMS on an interim basis. Subject to the overall progress of the programme, the intention for this role is to transfer to the Football Regulator once fully established.

Please note that the location of the Football Regulator has yet to be determined.

**Job description**:
Responsibilities include:

- Leading on analytical projects and developing a pipeline of research projects to establish a robust evidence base to support policy delivery.
- Building and reviewing economic models, analysing data and developing high-quality analytical reports.
- Consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including the football leagues, clubs and regulatory experts to ensure that all analytical projects are well-informed and robust.
- Work closely with policy and delivery teams to understand, shape and set direction of how the policy is implemented in the regulatory context.
- Developing monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess impact of relevant policy interventions.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Requirements**:

- You must be a member of the Government Economic Service (GES) or demonstrate that you satisfy the eligibility criteria to join GES, which is, 2:1 degree in Economics or MSc Economics. Full criteria can be found in the GES membership guidance.

- Delivering at Pace: You must demonstrate a strong track record of delivering timely and quality results and experience of driving forward complex projects at pace.
