UK Public Policy Lead

Description

Reporting to the VP of Policy & Research we are looking for someone to lead the development and implementation of public policy strategy in the UK. The Policy lead will need to influence regulators and government on payments and open banking policy in a pivotal year for the sector, in order to further the interests of TrueLayer - a leading open banking powered payments provider.

As a UK Public Policy Lead you will:

• Work with TrueLayer teams to understand where rules and regulation create blockers, or opportunities for TrueLayer, and build a strategy to influence those rules
• Work with autonomy on delivering against the UK public policy strategy
• Build and develop relationships with key policy stakeholders across Government and regulators (HM Treasury, FCA, Payment Systems Regulator, Parliament)
• Maintain TrueLayer’s reputation in the UK as a policy thought leader, through writing reports, blogs, op-eds and press articles
• Educate internal teams on the regulatory horizon - incoming risks and opportunities
• Brief TrueLayer leadership for speaking events and meetings related to public policy
• Feed into development of TrueLayer strategy

About you:

• Proven track record of influencing policy makers and achieving results through advocacy
• Extensive knowledge and understanding of how Government, Westminster and regulators work
• Project management experience
• Ability to communicate complex concepts in simple and effective ways to a range of different audiences
• Experience of working with product teams

We would be particularly excited if you have:

• Background in tech or fintech policy and regulation

Don’t meet all the requirements?

Multiple studies have shown that women and people of underrepresented groups are sometimes less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement. At Truelayer, we are committed to building a diverse workforce, so if you are excited about this role and have the essential skills, but not the entire checklist - we’d still love to hear from you!
