The Enforcement team works with policy teams across Ofcom, carries out advocacy work with stakeholders and actively enforces 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 where we see harm, including opening formal investigations, issuing penalties and seeking redress where appropriate. The purpose and scope of the role The Enforcement team is currently led by two Enforcement Directors, and we are now looking to appoint a third Director to lead the team with them. As an Enforcement Director you will jointly be accountable with the other Enforcement Directors for the team-wide portfolio of work, and the overall leadership of the Enforcement function. It is expected that both the substantive work and leadership of the team will require a split of duties due to span of work, however there will need to be continual close collaboration and flexibility in this approach to ensure appropriate coverage across these areas. Your Key Responsibilities Lead the Enforcement team, both in its substantive work and the colleagues in the team, taking responsibility and accountability across the workplan, budgeting, resourcing, colleague development and training, strategy and advocacy.

Lead engagement with policy areas and oversee enforcement input to key policy projects, acting as a thought leader and providing advice and guidance to colleagues. The skills, knowledge and experience you'll need for success Experience/understanding of competition, consumer and/or regulatory enforcement: this can include general competition and consumer law enforcement and/or within a regulated industry or government. Analytical skills and experience: experience of evidence review, supervisory techniques and legal and/or economic analysis would be an advantage. Empowering Development: you will jointly be responsible for leading and shaping the work of the Enforcement team, providing guidance and mentoring appropriate to colleagues' level of experience, and will draw on your own experience of leading teams, running projects, defining scope and workstreams and owning timetable. As part of this you will also be responsible for the line management of senior individuals in the team. Close Collaboration: you will work closely with your fellow Enforcement Directors, and will be comfortable contributing fully to the joint leadership of the team and accountability for its output, working in an open, collegiate and collaborative way. Owning Accountabilities: you will act as decision-maker in high profile, contentious cases, and will be comfortable both making those decisions and articulating the rationale behind them both internally and externally. You will also lead settlement discussions with senior external stakeholders. Channelling Influence: you will lead and contribute at a strategic level to drafting of internal and published documents and decisions which are often subject to scrutiny in the courts. You will need to be comfortable communicating arguments in person to senior colleagues within Ofcom, with senior external stakeholders and with the media, and be prepared to listen, contribute, persuade, and resolve conflicts where they arise. Harmonising work: you will be able to build and maintain constructive and productive relationships with internal stakeholders at all levels and engage with senior external stakeholders in a fair and professional way.
