We have over £115bn of contracts regulated through the regulatory framework. This is an exciting and challenging time for defence with a fast-evolving threat environment, and the Government's Strategic Defence Review and Defence Industrial Strategy now published and being implemented. The SSRO is playing an active role in these vital developments looking at how our regulatory regime can best play a part in incentivising a faster pace of delivery while protecting taxpayer value for money and ensuring fair prices to contractors that allow them to thrive. As a Principal Regulatory Policy Manager in the SSRO you will be at the heart of our thinking on how to evolve the single source regime in line with the Government's objectives. You will work with a wide range of stakeholders across the defence establishment both in the MOD and the defence industry. You will be an important part of a dynamic organisation enhancing the SSRO's reputation as an independent expert body and thought leader. The SSRO is an executive non-departmental public body that plays a central role in the regulation of the UK government's non-competitive procurement of military capabilities. The framework places controls on the prices of qualifying defence contracts and imposes transparency obligations on defence contractors. Amongst other things we establish the baseline profit rate for contracts under the single source regime, hold and analyse a wide range of contract and supplier data, publish guidance on what costs are allowable, give opinions and determinations on areas of disagreement between MOD and contractors and constantly look for ways to improve and strengthen the regime. This is a full-time role, and we would be happy to consider flexible working arrangements for the successful candidate. What will I be doing?
