Policy Manager (Regulatory Policy)

Requirements of the role

We are currently recruiting for a Regulatory Policy Manager to focus primarily/initially on delivering a complex, high profile programme of work to ensure high standards of ethical practice and understanding across the solicitor profession. The role will also involve management of related areas of work, and the role holder will be required to take on additional/future projects as required. The successful candidate will line manage two colleagues, and will be responsible for supporting their professional development.

The work will be fast paced and sometimes high profile. Professional Ethics is an area of significant focus for the team and for the SRA more broadly, and which is core to what we do as an organisation, and what we expect of our regulated community. The work is complex and intellectually challenging, and requires the ability to think both creatively and laterally. You will oversee work across your small team on areas around protecting consumers, legal professionals and the broader legal sector from harms, such as the SRA’s work on whistleblowing.

More broadly, you will strive to ensure that our regulatory requirements strike the right balance between promoting competition and growth while protecting consumers from harm. You will be experienced in using a variety of policy development techniques, and have proficient project management skills to manage policy development on new and complex issues. You will demonstrate a real commitment to continually building an evidence base and to the values of equality, diversity and inclusion throughout your work.
