London, SE1
GBPCompetitive
Team Overview
The Enforcement team plays a critical role in ensuring that the regulation and policy that we put in place to protect consumers and citizens is effective. A key role of the Enforcement team is to actively enforce the regulatory conditions that Ofcom imposes on regulated providers, as well as enforcing general consumer and competition law. We routinely monitor complaints, analyse evidence and take swift action to deal firmly and effectively where we see harm, including opening enforcement programmes and formal investigations, issuing penalties and seeking redress where appropriate. In addition to enforcing regulatory conditions, the Enforcement team currently has a key role monitoring and reporting on the progress on arrangements for the legal separation of Openreach from BT through our 'Openreach Monitoring Unit' and in monitoring and enforcing the BBC Charter.
Purpose of the Role
Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications sectors. We regulate TV and radio, fixed line and mobile telecoms, postal services and the radio spectrum. On 3rd April 2017 we became the BBC's first external regulator.
Enforcement is a vital part of what we do at Ofcom. It involves engaging with external stakeholders to understand how our policy interventions are complied with and, if necessary, taking appropriate and effective action to rectify any wrongdoing and ensuring the UK communication sector is competitive and services its customers and consumers well.?
Requirements of the Role
In this Principal role you will direct a portfolio of matters across multi-disciplinary project teams, working collaboratively with project managers and specialists to detect and act upon compliance failures. You will build relationships with internal and external stakeholders in the industries we regulate, and will be responsible for ensuring that individual cases are effectively guided through Ofcom's governance processes with a clear understanding of how each of your enforcement matters fit into Ofcom's wider strategy and how it helps Ofcom achieve its policy objectives. You will be responsible for managing risk and overall resourcing on the projects you are directing. You will contribute to the management of the Competition and Consumer Enforcement team by taking responsibility in areas including resourcing, colleague development and training, and will act as a line manager.
Ofcom's corporate values are excellence, collaboration, agility and empowerment. These are reflected in the way we work. We are looking for motivated, organised people who can grasp new ideas quickly to produce outputs to the high standard Ofcom needs to meet. We work together in teams to identify problems and develop solutions, with colleagues including economists, technical and financial specialists and lawyers. You need to be confident and articulate, and comfortable working in an environment where your team's solutions will be constructively reviewed
