- ** Stock**: Reforming the existing stock of regulation to cut regulatory burdens and future-proof our approach.
- ** Flow**: Putting downward pressure on the flow of new regulation, through rigorous scrutiny and encouraging alternatives.
- ** Regulatory Landscape**: Ensuring a well-functioning landscape of regulators, that deliver the intended outcomes.

The Smarter Regulation Directorate is seeking dynamic and enthusiastic individuals to drive work across all three pillars of the Directorates work. All roles offer significant policy and strategy experience, with exposure to Ministers and opportunities to work with a wide range of stakeholders, including at senior levels, across government, regulators and externally.

- ** Regulatory Stock Policy Roles**: in these roles you will coordinate and deliver work to reform the UK’s stock of regulation.

- ** 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.

**Person specification**:
**Personal Attributes & Skills**
- Can demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and professionalism, showing genuine care for the team and other colleagues, creating an inclusive working environment and a clear commitment to civil service values and high standards.
- Can demonstrate leadership skills in managing work through ambiguity, change, and periods of high demand and challenge.
- Can work independently on complex issues, taking the initiative to make sense of and drive forward work in an area where the political landscape is evolving.
- Ability to understand a wider government perspective on developments to ensure policy is relevant and ensure plans reflect wider strategic priorities.

**Essential Criteria**
- Excellent policy skills, with the ability to effectively compile, understand, analyse and present evidence, to arrive at options identifying clear pros, cons and recommendations.
- Ability to quickly get to grips with a situation and problem-solve at pace.
- Experience working collaboratively within and across teams and to build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
