Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK. It regulates the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms, mobiles, postal services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. It ensures that people in the UK get the best from their communications services and are protected from scams and sharp practices, whilst ensuring competition can thrive.
In a bid to further strengthen and balance the skills of its Main Board, Ofcom is seeking to make a crucial appointment; its first Non-Executive Member for Wales.
The individual will have an interest in, or understanding of, the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors, or similar, large-scale commercial or public-sector undertakings. An understanding or experience of the disruptive nature of fast-moving technological innovation, and of the potential market effects and structural shifts which this can cause, would be an advantage. He/she should understand the consumer interest in such environments.
This individual will also be expected to understand and participate in all the Board’s discussions across its entire remit, including the impact of convergence on regulation across broadcasting including the BBC, fixed-line and mobile telecoms, postal services and spectrum.
The individual will be appointed as a Member of the Ofcom Board by Welsh Ministers (following consultation with the Secretary of State) and will have the same UK-wide responsibilities as all other non-executive Members of the Board. The appointed person will be able to contribute strongly to Board consideration of the wider context of challenges that face poorly served consumers across the UK e.g. people living in remote rural areas. They should also be familiar with engaging with Parliaments and Governments, including in a devolved context.
We are delighted to represent Ofcom in the search for its first Non-Executive Member for Wales.
