London, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority Full time

The Role

There are few jobs where you can make a real difference to the 2 million people who work in the UK Financial Services industry, the 40 million consumers of financial products and the stability of our economy as a whole. From regulating Consumer Credit to driving action on Foreign Exchange manipulation or helping strengthen accountability in the banking sector, the FCA is working with the industry to protect consumers, ensure the integrity of the UK financial system and promote fair and effective competition. The Financial Conduct Authority is a key part of the regulatory structure in financial services, together with the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Bank of England. We work to make financial markets work well for consumers of financial services.

The Market Intervention - Trading Venues department is at the heart of the FCA mission to seek to ensure that UK market infrastructures are resilient, transparent and operate in a fair and orderly way. The department sits in the Infrastructure & Exchanges division. It is responsible, among other things, for supervising trading venues and for developing the policy that applies to them and to the investment firms dealing on those venues or OTC. We develop smart and early policy interventions to address emerging risks we see in the market and to influence global and UK policy.

The Trading Policy team is responsible for shaping and implementing the policy for trading venues - such as investment exchanges - and for firms dealing in wholesale markets like broker-dealers, proprietary trading firms and commodity derivatives trading firms. We cover a broad range of issues such as the organisational and transparency requirements of trading venues, algorithmic and high frequency trading, commodity derivatives and market data.

We do this in a number of ways:
- Leading the development of domestic rules and international standards for trading venues and trading firms- Working with HM Treasury and the Bank of England on the broader UK policy on market infrastructures- Providing ongoing policy support to FCA teams supervising trading venues and trading firms- Identifying and mitigating future areas of risk in the trading and conduct landscape- We place a high priority on open and collaborative working, both with our internal stakeholders (International, the General Counsel, Secondary Markets Oversight, Competition) and externally with other markets authorities.

What does the role involve? What are the key responsibilities?

The team is responsible for delivering the Wholesale Markets Review, the review of UK wholesale financial markets we have been conducting with the Treasury. The WMR has a broad scope. It includes transparency in equity, bonds and derivatives markets, market data and data consolidation and commodity derivatives.

As a Senior Associate you will:
- Horizon scan the relevant markets to identify issues and risks to our objectives- Extract, analyse and interpret quantitative information to support policy development- Develop policy reforms end to end- Draft consultation documents and public statements- Work with internal and external stakeholders, especially our newly formed secondary markets advisory committee to help support and deliver our policy reforms- Provide policy advice, also in the form of policy papers and briefs, to internal stakeholders- Policy on Recognised Investment Exchanges, multilateral trading facilities and organised trading facilities- Policy on data reporting service providers (DRSPs) and market data- Policy on trading mandates- Policy on commodity derivatives- Make your contribution to delivering our ambitious objective of improving UK secondary markets- Represent FCA externally. You and your outputs will have a high exposure across the FCA and outside- Develop in-depth expertise on the functioning of wholesale financial markets and their regulation

Skills/Experience Required

Minimum- Experience of financial services, financial regulation or policy making- Experience of representing an organisation externally on technically demanding issues

Essential- Knowledge of the operation of trading venues and their members- Demonstrable ability to acquire knowledge quickly and independently- Good understanding of the UK and EU regulatory architecture- Ability to analyse complex issues and make judgements supported by evidence, including where only partial information is available- Ability to explain, orally and verbally, complex issues in a clear and compelling way to diverse audiences- Strong commitment to collaborative working, including willingness to respond positively to challenge from others

Desirable- Experience of working in or regulating trading venues or trading firms (especially in relation to the regulation of bond and derivatives markets and market data)- Experience in drafting consultation documents
