We will use data more effectively to drive better regulatory decisions and build greater cohesion across our broad financial services remit

You’ll get exposure to a broad range of issues and will contribute to both Enforcement and Market Oversight’s and the wider FCA’s senior leadership team, helping to shape and influence the organisation’s strategy.
