Why are you leaving your current role/why are you applying to this one? Push/Pull factors
Push factors:
- Seeking career growth and development opportunities — Ofcom has been great, learned lots, built knowledge… want to be pushed more, challenged - ready for the next steps to east to level up and supercharge my career with structured growth, mentorship and L&D.
- Working in a more structured delivery-oriented environment —having clear objectives, clear accountability for deliverables. More rigorous approach to delivery, clearly demonstrating value-add. Miss the client relationship building aspect of my work.
*Miss working on live issues with clients; miss the dynamic of a client facing role - solving challenges that are critical for businesses. Enjoy the urgency and immediacy of this and would like to do more.
Pull factors:
- Diverse Regulatory opportunities — becoming not just an OSA specialist, but a compliance specialist. Gaining experience of working across a wider range of regulations; I am a lifelong learner, I’d love to gain XP elsewhere. I have a strong legal background that lends itself well to gaining experience of other legislative frameworks. AI Act compliance, DSA compliance for example.
- Working with BigTech clients — Deloitte’s powerful role in the regulatory ecosystem: exposure to some of the largest big-tech platforms. I have worked with former Big Tech T&S leaders and am impressed by their professionalism and skill - keen to work with more colleagues of this calibre. Think this will be great to continue my learning/development.
- Deloitte has the potential to deliver a real impact and culture change amongst regulated businesses — changing the OS ecosystem, helping to make a positive impact on user experiences. At this time in particular, too - it’s the right time to shift focus to businesses.
Why Deloitte?
Team of Experts
L&D
The People
- Interdisciplinary expert teams - Reputation, professional, exceptional

* Nod to ways of working: “I was delighted to hear from Tanaya that she attends the office 3x per week in person” - I will be there soaking up every bit of information I possibly can.
The people
* Diversity & Inclusion - Tanaya Singh advised it’s a diverse organisation, with lots of networks including a Sikh Network. I’m Chair of Ofcom’s Faith Network, keen to participate in developing corporate culture at Deloitte, achieving D&I strategic aims. Seen Sikh Network working on interconnecting events with other groups - great to see.
* Taraki! — The deloitte sikh network hosted the punjabi mental health podcast
* My brother - worked in Risk Advisory from graduation onward, had nothing but positive things to say about the organisation. I think he regrets leaving!
I’m a lifetime learner - Deloitte is renowned for supporting colleague development
* Deloitte invests in its people
* Managers receive training and support to aid their career growth, e.g.: (i) Colleague gone to Deloitte University for leadership training; (ii) Tanaya received a Governance, Risk and Compliance training qualification; (iii) Career Mentorship 1:1 by a Director
* Don’t forget the 1:1 Director level career mentorship, that’s a big plus - Tanaya mentioned this.
I AM READY (HUNGRY, GREEDY) FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE IN MY CAREER, THE NEXT STEP UP. I THINK DELOITTE OFFERS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO ACCELERATE MY CAREER GROWTH.
5 year plan?
- Building a strong network – Building strong relationships with Legal, Compliance, Strategy, Audit colleagues. Building my reputation amongst colleagues, demonstrating my commitment to Deloitte’s values and ambitions. I want to build my credibility by being an exceptional team player; I want to have established my reputation as a fair, inclusive and positive leader.
- Build a network with clients, work with powerful organisations working on complex issues
- Become someone people love to work with - Growing the business – By delivering high quality services for clients; building Deloitte’s presence across different regulated sectors (e.g., OSA, DSA, AI Act, Corporate Sustainability regs); broadening my experience working with different clients; winning new work by supporting with business development, bids and sales initiatives; attending conferences, building the internet regulation team’s institutional knowledge.
- Helping with horizon-scanning, identifying emerging trends and opportunities
- Learn about the areas of regulatory compliance that we work on. Learn our playbooks and build upon them - introduce new ideas
- Work on thought leadership initiatives, build the organisation’s narrative with services - Promotion within 5-years – On the strength of my performance, I hope to have demonstrated sufficient capability to achieve promotion to an SM role; I want to take on increasing responsibility for the team’s growth.
- Work with career mentors, identify high-impact opportunities to support the organisation
What are the biggest challenges facing the ESG/regulatory agenda?
- Race for AGI -> deregulation
- Isolationist policies -> movement away from global governance (e.g., Brexit, deregulating the UK and US); supply side shocks leading to a fractured international policy landscape
- Amendment and uncertainty of ESG regs e.g., CSDDD, CSRD, AIA - harder to comply
Global economic decline and isolationist policy choices to cut back red tape
* Declining Western economies
* International tariffs creating a lot of uncertainty for businesses
* Stripping back global governance — reprioritisation of growth and deregulation
* Backlash against socially conscious capitalism — pulled into the firing line of the culture way
AI race to ‘be the first’ - consolidate power
* Dis-incentivises safety and regulation
* Trump favouring deregulation - pressure from Musk and DOGE in US Government
* Starmer/Trump rekindling special relationship
Thought leadership ideas for Deloitte’s Internet Regulation practice?
Ideas derived from involvement in DRCF x-reg collaboration:
* AI Compliance Assurance Service - understanding sectoral regulators’ remits and devising governance frameworks which can accommodate compliance with requirements from each
* AI Governance Literacy Workforce Tx - taking hint from EU AI Act and leveraging Deloitte’s full-service offering
* Regtech Risk Controls - targeting areas of intersection between regulatory regimes, likely to have a positive strategic impact and build reputation; raising the roof, showing ‘what good looks like’, e.g., OS/FCA online fraud/scams
* Global AI Policy Horizon Scanning - see GOSRN, INDRC, provide clarity to services on how the international landscape is changing
- Deloitte 3rd Party AI Assurance - delivering an AI assurance service to promote compliance with regulators’ remits; following the UK’s principles-based framework and ISO standards, plus lessons learned from EU AI Act
* Online Safety – Risk Assessment guidance discusses that one of the ways services can comply with RA duties is by using third-party services to validate findings of their risk assessments relating to deployment of AI technologies.
* Data Protection – Where services deploy AI systems that use personal data, data protection audit/assurance can be used to ensure this is done correctly.
* Competition & Consumer Protection, FS regulation – Assure AI deployments with reference to the Government’s principles-based framework: (i) Fairness; (ii) Transparency; (iii) Accountability & Governance; (iv) Safety; and (v) Contestability/Redress
* Services have asked for more standardisation around how AI deployments will be assessed – we need more certainty than is currently provided for by the Government’s principles-based framework? - Deloitte AI People Tx (Literacy) - Best in class people transformation programme equipping employees to test and deploy AI technologies with adherence to Government’s principles-based framework
Takes the EU AI Act’s AI literacy requirements as a starting point for likely expectations on UK services - RegTech/Technology driven risk controls – Based on understanding x-reg priorities
E.g., tackling online fraud (financial regulation and online safety priority) – content moderation solutions - Horizon-scanning advisory services on global regulatory alignment - a stated aim of global regulatory cooperation is aligning standards and promoting coherence; can we preempt standards in countries, anticipating upcoming efforts to baseline AI global governance?
