This includes interpreting new regulatory requirements, providing expert guidance across the business, and working with business functions to ensure regulatory reports support the new outcomes-focused regulatory model by appropriately demonstrating the businesses performance.

• Manage the Exceptions Policy for the reporting and escalation of regulatory issues and incidents. This includes the ongoing maintenance of the policy, ensuring it is understood and embedded into functions, providing guidance to the compliance team and governance fora on materiality of impact on the Licence, Exceptions classification and escalation. Importantly this includes the strategic management of any associated engagement, with an aim to build regulatory confidence and mitigate regulatory risk.
• Manage regulatory issues and enforcement escalations, including Ad Hoc Exceptions Assurance Statements
• Support the wider Regulatory Affairs team as required to secure necessary regulatory consents in support of business plans and activities, and establishing regulatory policy positions accounting for regulatory Best Practice.
