Principal Case Officer

Morgan Hunt are currently working with a National Economic Regulator in their search for an Interim Principal Case Officer to join on an initial 3-month temporary assignment. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in coordinating the delivery of a high-profile statutory appeal, working alongside lawyers, economists and business advisers to ensure a complex regulatory programme is delivered to demanding statutory deadlines.



The successful candidate will sit at the heart of a multidisciplinary appeal team, taking responsibility for the day-to-day coordination and delivery of a significant regulatory appeal. Acting as the central point of coordination across multiple workstreams, you will ensure project plans, timetables and governance arrangements remain on track, whilst bringing together technical analysis, evidence and stakeholder input to support the appeal process.



A key aspect of the role will involve working closely with senior internal stakeholders, external parties and independent panel members. You will coordinate meetings, manage documentation, prepare papers and correspondence, organise hearings and maintain effective communication across all parties. You will also act as the primary point of contact for external organisations, ensuring information flows efficiently and statutory deadlines are met.



Alongside project coordination, you will contribute to the technical analysis of the appeal by reviewing complex legal, regulatory and economic material. While you will not be expected to be a subject matter expert, you will need the ability to understand highly technical information, draw together evidence from multiple sources and support robust, evidence-based decision-making.



This is a varied assignment, with periods of intense delivery around hearings, meetings and report publication, balanced with opportunities to contribute to wider regulatory projects as the appeal progresses. It is ideally suited to someone who enjoys managing complex programmes, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and driving delivery within highly regulated environments.



The successful candidate will have proven experience coordinating complex regulatory projects, investigations, appeals or major programmes involving multiple stakeholders. Experience within economic regulation, policy, legal project management or similarly technical environments would be highly advantageous.
