Principal, Price Review Policy

Join to apply for the Principal, Price Review Policy role at UK Regulators' Network

We are Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority, a non‑ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales.

We’re looking for a principal to join our cross‑cutting Price Review team. This team will play a critical role in implementing the previous price review and developing the next one. The team works closely with the other teams in the Price Review Design and Delivery function and draws on the experience of other policy specialists as well as economists, lawyers and engineers when developing policy.

Within the price review function, we take ownership of issues that don’t naturally fit elsewhere and develop cross‑cutting policy. We also bring together work from across the directorate – spotting connections early, reducing duplication, and ensuring policy moves in a coherent, consistent direction. By creating clarity, offering constructive challenge, and helping teams align their thinking, we make it easier for the whole directorate to deliver high quality, joined up policy.

This Principal role is full of influence and exciting challenges. You will have a real opportunity to shape the next price review and develop policies that will have a genuine impact on customers and the environment.
