Payment systems are always evolving and the PSR is here to make sure they work well for everyone. Follow this link to find out more About The PSR.The PSR is an independent economic regulator led by Managing Director David Geale who is also Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Executive Director Payments and Digital Finance. The PSR is a subsidiary of the FCA.In March 2025 the Prime Minister announced that the PSR would be consolidated into the FCA a pragmatic next step in simplifying regulation of payments. The Government has been clear that payment systems must continue to be effectively regulated - see the Governments consultation (which was published in September 2025) - and so the PSR is continuing to focus on delivering its important and impactful programme of work collaborating closely with the FCA. The transition is taking place in phases with some teams already moving to the FCA where they continue to support PSR activity. The department you are applying to join will ultimately move into the FCA either when the new legislation takes effect or before. Candidates should be aware therefore that there may be changes to their responsibilities as consolidation into the FCA progresses.The Supervision and Compliance Monitoring (SCM) Division is responsible for ensuring that the PSRs regulatory requirements are complied with and improving outcomes for everyone that uses payments systems by challenging poor practice within firms.What will you be doingResponsible for shaping the future of regulatory supervision by designing and implementing a forward-thinking supervisory strategy for PSR-regulated organisations aligned to our strategic prioritiesConnect and influence by building strong effective relationships with senior stakeholders across the regulatory and payments landscape such as payment system operators HM Treasury the PRA Bank of England and CMAGuide a significant transition as you help embed the supervision of payment systems into the FCAs well-established supervision model and governance structures ensuring a smooth and effective integrationDrive impact through innovation by shaping and delivering ambitious plans that contribute to the PSRs vision and strategy while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learningInspire and empower a high-performing team by providing strong thoughtful mentorship of the Supervision Team encouraging collaboration personal development and cross-functional teamworkBe a role model by promoting PSRs commitment to diversity inclusion equality and corporate social responsibility helping shape a culture that supports both people and purposeWhat will you get from the roleA unique view of some of the most important firms in the UK financial services industry undertake interesting challenging and rewarding workGood experience of supporting colleagues through a process of change as the PSR and FCA are consolidatedAn opportunity to expand your leadership capabilities and engage with a wide range of stakeholders across the public sector and the financial services industryExperience of representing the PSR in external meetings and conferences including through giving presentations and sitting on panelsFurther yours and colleagues development in a continuous learning and support environmentWhich skills are requiredWe are a Disability Confident Employer; therefore disabled people or individuals with long-term conditions who best meet the minimum criteria for a role will go through to the next stage of the recruitment process.
