Advisory Board Non-Executive Director

Members are intended to act in an advisory capacity designed to contribute to a strong set of governance arrangements for OPSS. Members will not be involved in specific technical regulatory decisions, but we are looking for a diverse range of people with experience of operating at a senior level. The roles will give you the opportunity to impact on a range of important policy, regulatory and operational issues impacting businesses and consumers daily.

Potential topics for discussion include:

  • The EU and UK regulatory divergence
  • The development of novel regulatory functions or expansion into the online space
  • The UK internal market
  • How OPSS gathers and uses science and evidence
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Policy development
  • International engagement with regulators and industry
  • Business planning, control mechanisms and delegation in a growing organisation

Person specification

Essential criteria

The successful candidates may be drawn from a wide range of backgrounds. Prior non-executive experience is not required. To be considered you must be able to demonstrate that you have the qualities, skills, knowledge and experience to meet the essential criteria for appointment:

  • A demonstrable track record and experience of operating at a senior leadership level
  • An ability to question, challenge constructively and support the decision-making as part of the organisation, bringing a diversity of opinions and views.
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to collaborate and command respect and confidence from others.
  • Possess a clear understanding of the work of OPSS and demonstrate a strong interest in supporting OPSS to function effectively as a regulator.
  • Be able to commit to attend four meetings per year.

If there are a large number of applicants for the roles, we will assess each application against the main criteria 1 and 2 above.

Desirable criteria

We welcome applications from those with the following additional desirable skills and experience:

  • Previous experience at a senior level in either a delivery focused organisation, regulatory body or small or large business.
  • Previous experience of managing complex operational delivery.

Preference is for meetings to be held in person, in London, but we aim to be flexible for those that may find it difficult travelling to London.
