About Ofwat
We are Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority, a non-ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales. Our work has genuine significance - no other organisation does the work we do. It's unique and meaningful: keeping our water flowing; ensuring water bills don't cost a penny more than needed; holding water companies to account. Come and work at the source of everyday life.
The Role
We have an excellent opportunity to join Ofwat's recently established Sector Governance team as a Head of Sector Governance Frameworks.
The overall aim of the Governance team is to ensure water companies are well run through having the right board leadership and governance arrangements in place. Furthermore, we seek to ensure governance arrangements are transparent, allowing Ofwat and other stakeholders to scrutinise (and challenge) and address issues of legitimacy. This work is at the cutting edge of what Ofwat does and is pivotal in light of the recently announced Water (Special Measures) Bill .
You'll be responsible for designing and implementing sector-critical governance frameworks as part of Ofwat's regulatory role and strategic objectives. You'll have primary responsibility for fundamental projects and will own key policy thinking, design and delivery.
Key responsibilities will also include day-to-day management of external advisors as relevant, coordinating across Ofwat on cross-directorate issues, policy design and drafting, management of and building consensus with both external and internal stakeholders.
The role will require visible and effective leadership for the delivery of the policies and measures, and an ability to seek and build consensus for practical regulatory tools. Effective horizon scanning and the ability to operate within a complex and multi-disciplinary context will be paramount for this exciting role.
Ofwat is dedicated to providing you with opportunities to further develop your knowledge and experience. We have a well-supported, agile working environment, and have a trust-based culture intended to help empower, enable, and support you to succeed.
