Financial Conduct Authority - Permanent, Full-Time

The FCA is a global regulator, supporting open markets through shaping the international regulatory agenda. The International Division leads our strategy for international engagement, working collaboratively across the FCA to ensure the organisation delivers on its international priorities.

This is an exciting opportunity to help to shape the way we think about and approach regulation, and what the future of financial services looks like both in the UK and globally, for years to come. You will work with a wide range of colleagues across the FCA, as well as external domestic and international stakeholders.

The Market Access team has responsibility for developing the FCA’s approach on issues related to third country market access, trade agreements, equivalence and providing deference advice to HMG. We also lead on international elements of the Future Regulatory Framework, which will set out the new responsibilities for the FCA post EU withdrawal.

We are looking for talented individuals who can manage complex, high-profile and fast-moving portfolios in an often-uncertain policy environment. Strong stakeholder management, communication and analysis skills are essential.

We may look to fill more than one role as part of this recruitment process.- An opportunity to take on a varied, wide-ranging and interesting role which helps to drive the FCA’s international agenda.- Intellectual challenge from the opportunity to think about complex issues of market access and how they impact the FCA; the UK markets and consumers; and global markets more widely.- An opportunity to be creative, problem-solve, and develop and enhance your influencing, engagement and communication skills.- Exposure to regulatory policy debates, and comparison of UK and international regulatory landscapes.- An opportunity to develop and enhance your leadership skills, including project management, coaching and feedback.- Exposure to a wide range of senior colleagues both within the FCA and externally, and an opportunity to develop a wide network of international contacts.

Which minimum, essential & desirable skills are required?

Minimum- Experience of working within a policymaking, analytical or coordination/advisory role.- Some understanding of the international financial regulatory agenda and recent developments.

Essential- Strong analytical skills and an ability to quickly identify relevant issues from a wide range of data points and analyses, making the links to other work; clarifies the nature of a problem and its scope, providing focus for consequent analysis.- Strong organisation, prioritisation and time management skills; ability to deliver at pace and respond to external time pressures.- Clear and confident communications style, including an ability to communicate effectively in person, and to communicate issues in writing succinctly, even where issues are complex.- Sound judgement, including being prepared to make reasoned decisions in circumstances of limited or inconclusive information.- Collaborative approach.
