About the Team

The Online Safety Group’s purpose is to ensure UK citizens have a safer life online by implementing and overseeing the requirements under the Online Safety Act 2023. The Group is responsible for delivering online safety policy, supervising online services, and building technical expertise to meet the regime's aims.

This role sits within Ofcom’s Supervision Team. The Supervision Team provides close, structured engagement with specific services in scope of the online safety regime, alongside an approach to promoting compliance across many thousands of services. This role will consider industry practices in good governance and standards in online safety risk assessments, working closely with other specialist teams in Ofcom and the supervision team to identify improvements.

Purpose of the Role

Our Supervision Associates support our engagement with some of the online services people use every day. You will be directly supervising key tech firms, building relationships so we can understand their protections for users and, where necessary, encourage them to do better. As you grow into the role, we’ll support you in building your knowledge of online safety measures and the services you supervise so that you can become an expert in protecting users from harmful and illegal content.

You will be part of a team that supervises a portfolio of key online services. You will help develop supervision strategies for each service and help report on progress against them to the broader Online Safety Group. You may be Ofcom's primary point of contact for some services, working as part of a team to ensure that all Ofcom’s engagement and requests for information meet Ofcom’s strategic aims while balancing proportionality. Our Associates may also work with a broader range of regulated services that are not formally supervised, working with teams across Ofcom to respond to live and emerging compliance issues where we may need to intervene to help protect people online. Our Associates may additionally focus on identifying and drive improvements in regulated services on risk and governance related issues.

This is a Fixed-Term Contract

  • Develop knowledge and expertise in your supervised services and across Ofcom’s online safety programme, keeping across online safety, markets and tech developments
  • Understand, assess and, where necessary, support improvements in protections offered to users and other obligations (including risk assessment duties) under the Online Safety Act
  • Identify and support research, information gathering and analysis about the services you supervise and ensure analysis and outputs are drawn together for the wider team
  • Ensure the delivery of clear, concise and focused documents, such as meeting notes, agendas, briefings and research reports, for internal use or external publication
  • Own and prioritise your workload to ensure we deliver against our strategic priorities
  • Build and maintain effective relationships with teams across Ofcom that work with us, ensuring they are updated, included and feel heard
  • Deliver or contribute to initiatives across the Supervision Team to support our strategy as a whole, e.g. international or cross-regulatory engagement or developing expertise in specific markets
  • Ensure clear communication and information sharing at all levels with the rest of the Online Safety Group and deliver clear updates on the services you supervise when requested.

The skills, knowledge and experience you will need for success

  • Experience in a policy role, or within a regulated industry
  • Interest in policy compliance/regulatory issues
  • Evaluating Problems: Ability to identify and solve issues using well-thought-out strategies, considering different angles and potential solutions to resolve concerns.
  • Generating Insights: Ability to use evidence-driven methods to gather insights and make well-founded decisions based on thorough analysis.
  • Executing Plans: Able to organise tasks and set clear goals, managing resources wisely while monitoring progress.
  • Forming Relationships: Able to build and nurture positive relationships with people inside and outside the organisation.
  • Harmonising Work: Ability to work effectively with others, create an honest team environment and share valuable information and resources.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
