About the Team This role sits within the Digital Technology Unit within the Science, Technology & Access to Finance (STAF) team, which is responsible for HMT's strategy for the digital technology sector and leads on exciting areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Unit works collaboratively with departments such as Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to develop policy that will support the growth of the UK's AI sector, from investing in computing power, to attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the UK's AI infrastructure. The Unit also leads HMT's work on digital regulation including the Online Safety Act, and the UK's approach to AI regulation. About the Job We are looking for someone who is excited by the policy area, and who is willing to get stuck-in to drive forward workstreams that will meet Ministerial priorities for growth and productivity. Key accountabilities of the role are: HMT Lead on Digital Regulation. You will lead HMT's engagement with the Online Safety Act, the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, and the UK's approach to AI regulation as they are progressed through Parliament/implemented. You will be responsible for advising Ministers on key areas of HMT interest, responding to Write Rounds and engaging with consultations, to ensure they reflect HMT priorities on innovation and proportionality. You will also provide HMT spend control to the new regulatory regimes; in the next year this will primarily be the Online Safety Act, as it is implemented by Ofcom. You will work closely with the Range E and DSIT on the wider strategy for balancing HMG dual priorities for safety and security, with tech investment.

Tech Sector Stakeholder Engagement: This role involves plenty of Ministerial visits, events and international trips. Working with other team members and HMT colleagues, you will provide Ministers with advice on how they should engage with the tech sector and briefings for these engagement opportunities.

You will need to work flexibly with other team members to provide high quality input that meets these commissions and ensure that the team's 'standard lines' and core facts about the sector and AI are up to date.

We're looking for a highly motivated self-starter, who can pick up new material quickly and who is keen to learn about the policy area. As you progress in the role, you will be expected to develop a good working knowledge of the sector and have a view of what the key trends and issues are. You should be confident working with quantitative and qualitative data and can use these analytical skills to assess policy problems, review business cases and develop nuanced policy advice. Given the work of the branch is high-profile, you will need to be adept at engaging with senior stakeholders and be effective at communicating policy positions clearly, concisely, and persuasively. HM Treasury is proud of a diverse and inclusive work environment, committed to fairness and the promotion of equality of opportunity for all.
