Notice Title

Role 8 - Principal Policy Support for the Developer Services Market

Notice Description

This role is intended to provide principal level support within the developer services market team. Whilst we currently expect this role to focus on our review of incumbent company support for the development of an effective developer services market (following Ofwat Chief Executive's letter), there is the possibility that the role will focus on some other element of the developer services (in discussion and agreement between Ofwat and the successful Contractor). As a result we are looking for transferable skills that could address a variety of different policy issues. We expect you will form a key part of a focussed team assessing the level of incumbent company support for the development of effective markets - focussing primarily on the developer services market. This will involve using analytical techniques to draw insight and conclusions from a wide variety of evidence (both quantitative and qualitative). The project will involve assessing whether the level of support from incumbent companies is sufficient and if not, an assessment of what further action Ofwat should take.
