We are recruiting for an exciting new role in the Commission’s economics and modelling team, helping shape our policy on the cross-cutting themes of economic regulation, funding and financing in all the sectors in our remit.

The successful candidate will be an infrastructure/capital financing expert, and/or a regulatory specialist. This is a new role in the Commission, created to reflect the unprecedented pressure and pace required to enable delivery of the UK’s economic infrastructure needs over the coming decades in the face of tight public budgets and volatile investor sentiment.

We are keen to appoint someone with the skills and knowledge to provide Commissioners with impactful strategic, analytical and policy insights across all economic infrastructure sectors and related funding and financing business models. The new appointee will have the opportunity to leverage industry/expert insights, evidence and cutting-edge thinking to support scoping and direction setting; and also be strategic and consider wider political, economic and social solutions in their thinking. They’ll also lead on the rigorous quality assurance processes for their own and others’ work.

The role offers lots of opportunity for collaboration with regulators, infrastructure delivery and financing organisations and colleagues from other disciplines/backgrounds to ensure evidence is visible, relevant and impactful.

More information on the role is available on Civil Service Jobs, The Guardian and LinkedIn. The role can be based in either London or Leeds.

The closing date for applications is end of Friday, 10 May 2024.
