Responsibilities

• Lead the Regulatory Team operating model, including task initiation, task allocation, review cadence, action tracking, source control and completed-work capture.
• Work with the Group Head Market Development and the leads for Generation, Propulsion and Construction to identify, prioritise and sequence regulatory tasks.
• Translate broad business or deployment questions into scoped regulatory tasks with clear business need, deliverables, milestones, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
• Manage, task and coach Regulatory Analysts, setting clear expectations for source quality, analytical rigour, written output and timely escalation of issues.
• Review and assure Regulatory Team outputs, including task reports, briefing notes, gap analyses, regulatory summaries, applicability matrices, stakeholder maps and engagement records.
• Maintain the Regulatory knowledge base, completed work compendium, source registers, stakeholder records, action trackers and regulatory grid so that work is discoverable and reusable.
• Monitor relevant developments from NRC, USCG, MARAD, CBP, IMO, IAEA, OECD NEA, class societies, national regulators, ports and industry bodies.
• Identify regulatory gaps, uncertainties, risks and potential mitigations, and recommend where senior input, legal advice, external expertise or stakeholder engagement is required.
• Support external engagement by ensuring that briefing notes, meeting notes, position papers, follow-up actions and decision records are prepared to the required standard.
• Coordinate external advisers and specialist consultants where required, ensuring their work is properly scoped, reviewed and integrated into CORE POWER's regulatory knowledge base.
• Represent CORE POWER in agreed regulatory, government, international and industry forums, in coordination with the Group Head Market Development and relevant business leads.

Requirements

• Lead, task, monitor and develop a small but growing team of Regulatory Analysts.

• Provide practical coaching to less experienced staff, including how to use primary sources, structure analysis and write clear regulatory conclusions.
• Maintain discipline around task initiation, source registration, review points, close-out and completed-work capture.
• Translate CORE POWER business priorities into a coherent regulatory development workplan.
• Understand how regulation may affect product development, deployment models, shipyard development, workforce planning, external engagement and investment-readiness.
• Distinguish clearly between regulatory analysis, legal advice, policy advocacy, technical assessment and project management.
• Make pragmatic recommendations on priorities, sequencing, trade-offs and escalation routes.
• Engage credibly with regulators, government departments, international organisations, class societies, industry bodies and external advisers.
• Support CORE POWER's engagement at the IMO, IAEA, OECD NEA, national regulators and other relevant forums as agreed.
• Prepare clear company positions and briefing material that are evidence-based and aligned with the business plan.
• Manage multiple workstreams and deadlines without losing source control, audit trail or quality.
• Run effective review meetings, maintain decision records and ensure actions are followed through.
• Travel domestically and internationally as required.

• Knowledge of maritime, nuclear, energy, transport or critical-infrastructure regulation.
