- Designing and delivering key regulatory processes, including a licensing system and auction.
- Developing and implementing a compliance model to monitor and enforce the new regime.
- Developing and implementing regulatory functions that support channelisation of consumers.
- Work closely with policy, legal, and technical experts in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
What we're looking for:
- Doers with a strong knowledge of regulatory theory and practice.
- Practical experience developing and delivering operational policy, processes, guidance and other work tools in a regulatory context.

- Hands-on experience implementing change and/or implementing new organisational functions or services in complex environments.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and collaboration skills.
Why join us?
