Director of Regulatory Oversight

Job description

Up to £110k,+ excellent benefits

Help shape the future of legal services regulation in England and Wales.

 The Legal Services Board exists to protect consumers, promote the public interest and support a legal services market that is trusted, accessible, innovative and competitive. As the sector responds to rapid technological change, evolving business models, firm consolidation and rising consumer expectations, effective regulation has never been more important.

This newly created executive leadership role offers the opportunity to lead and shape the LSB’s Regulatory Oversight Directorate at a pivotal moment for the organisation and the wider legal services sector.

You will lead the development of a more proactive, intelligence-led and risk-based approach to oversight regulation, ensuring that attention and resources are focused where they can have the greatest impact. You will oversee high-profile regulatory reviews, monitoring, statutory decision-making and enforcement activity, helping to drive rapid and sustained improvements in the performance of frontline regulators.

As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, you will play a central role in setting organisational strategy, managing risk and providing assurance to the Board. You will also lead senior-level relationships with regulators, government, representative bodies and other key stakeholders, acting as a credible and authoritative voice on regulatory oversight.

This is also a significant people leadership opportunity. You will build and develop a high-performing directorate, strengthen organisational capability and resilience, and create an inclusive culture in which talented colleagues can deliver their best work.

The role would suit an accomplished senior leader with experience in regulation, supervision, investigations, enforcement or a comparable oversight environment. You will bring strong strategic judgement, the confidence to lead complex and high-profile work under scrutiny, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders while maintaining a clear focus on consumers and the public interest.

This is a rare chance to create something new, influence the direction of an entire sector and make a tangible difference to the quality, accessibility and trustworthiness of legal services.
