Specialist Future Regulation Advisor

job description

The role

Are you ready to shape the future of environmental regulation in Wales?

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to help shape how regulation evolves in Wales. As part of NRW’s Future Regulation team, you’ll be at the forefront of legislative and regulatory change, influencing Welsh and UK Government agendas, translating policy into practice, and helping NRW deliver smarter, more effective regulation that's fit for the future.

You’ll work across a wide range of current and emerging regulatory areas, bringing fresh thinking and strategic insight to some of the most important environmental challenges of our time. You’ll lead innovative projects that test new approaches to compliance, develop evidence strategies, and embed our Regulatory Principles across the organisation. You’ll provide expert advice to senior leaders and government officials, collaborate with internal teams and external partners across the UK and internationally, and act as a catalyst for change, with the overarching aim of helping us improve regulatory outcomes for our customers, stakeholders, and for the benefit of people and nature.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. The successful candidate will be expected to attend regular meetings in Cardiff. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
