- ** International and Flow Roles**: in these roles you will support work to reduce the flow of regulation on businesses. This could include delivering international engagements, leading policy advice on good regulatory practice for Free Trade Agreements,), or leading work to develop and implement policy for the UK’s better regulation framework.
- ** Regulatory Landscape and Operation Roles**: in these roles you will play a key role in designing the UK’s approach to the oversight of economic and non-economic regulators. This could include through supporting an in-depth review of the regulatory duties and appeals systems, supporting the development of a regulators bill to bring consistency and performance management, or supporting the delivery of the government response to the consultation on strengthening regulation in different sectors, including energy, water and telecoms sectors.
