Senior Infrastructure Funding, Finance and Regulation Lead
Client Details
About the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC)
The National Infrastructure Commission was established in 2016 to provide government with impartial, expert advice on major long-term infrastructure challenges. The Commission advises government on all sectors of economic infrastructure (energy, transport, water and wastewater, waste, flood risk management and digital communications), as well as on cross-cutting issues, including planning, regulation and financing/funding.
The new Government plans to bring the NIC and the Infrastructure Projects Authority together under one body, the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA), to bring both strategic and delivery expertise closer to decision making and focus on enabling delivery. The NIC’s second National Infrastructure Assessment outlines the need for a significant increase in infrastructure investment from c£50bn pa now rising to c£80bn in the next decade, in order to deliver NetZero and other government objectives. This secondment is a unique opportunity to genuinely shape the policy agenda on infrastructure funding, finance and regulation by taking leadership of the brief within NIC as the two organisations come together.
Description
The National Infrastructure Commission is looking for an exceptional infrastructure/capital financing expert and/or regulatory specialist to develop cross-sector advice on infrastructure funding and finance, for (up to) a 12 month secondment. The role will take advantage of renewed interest in policy reform around funding, finance and regulation to ensure strategy and policy drives the investment needed to effectively support economic growth and Net Zero.
This is a new role in the NIC and was created to reflect the unprecedented pressure and pace required to enable delivery of the UK’s pressing economic infrastructure needs over the coming decades against headwinds of tight public budgets and volatile investor sentiment. It will build on the Commission’s reputation for robust and innovative analysis of strategic infrastructure issues, working closely with policy, analysis and strategy professionals within multidisciplinary project teams.
The expert secondees likely priorities to start with will be to deliver advise on:
-The potential use cases for existing and new public-private funding and financing models, drawing deeply on evidence and evaluation from previous UK and international experiences, and inform how such models could be delivered effectively in policy, programme and project delivery.
-The potential range of revenue streams (eg. Land value capture) that could play a role in funding transport schemes, at national and local level, focusing on their potential scope and scale and how they could fit effectively into the wider funding picture.
Profile
The suitable applicant:
*Form expert strategic views, appreciating detail but being able to stand back and see the bigger picture, to drive direction and advise policy and analysis. This includes being able to follow closely, understand and quickly adapt to how wider changes in the economy, markets and political landscape and how these impact infrastructure investment and advice of the NIC.
*Communicate with others in a clear, honest and enthusiastic way. Explain complex issues in a way that is easy to understand and communicate effectively in writing.
*Form effective partnerships and relationships with people both internally and externally, from a range of diverse backgrounds, sharing information, resources and support.
*Deliver timely and quality outcomes across sometimes competing priorities through identifying the right resource to do the job, setting realistic plans, reviewing and adjusting plans and performance expectations.
*Evidence of substantial experience working in a capital/infrastructure financing facing role and/or in a economic regulatory capacity, preferably with some application in a strategic and policy context. You will have the ability to set direction and deliver high quality influential quantitative analysis and be able to distil into strategic insights and recommendations.
