Senior Competition Policy Associate
4 months ago
Salary: National up to £58,500 and London up to £65,000 per annum
- _Salary offered will be based on skills and experience_
- Are you interested in joining a team that will help shape and deliver the future of Competition Policy at the FCA?_
We are looking to recruit a number of Senior Associates to work as competition policy practitioners within the Competition Division. As a Senior Associate within the Competition Division, you will advise on how better outcomes for consumers can be achieved through effective competition. You will help to embed competition thinking within our developing approach and will work to ensure that we are equipped to identify harms that are likely to crystalise as a result of competition not working to the benefit of consumers.
The Competition Division - is home to economists, lawyers, accountants and competition policy practitioners who are dedicated to ensuring the FCA has access to best possible analysis as part of its mission to protect consumers.
Much of our analysis is focused on ensuring financial service firms are competing in the interests of consumers. Our General Insurance Market Study, for example, found evidence of firms gradually increasing the price of different types of insurance upon renewal. This ‘price-walking’ was a result of complex and opaque pricing techniques used by firms. It meant loyal customers were paying significantly higher prices and were sometimes being discouraged from shopping around. The analysis carried out in the Competition Division supported an intervention to ban differential pricing between new and existing customers and introduced remedies to make it easier for customers to get out of policies that renew automatically.
What you will be doing
You will work alongside colleagues to consider the impact of the FCA’s interventions and approach on competition and competitiveness. Your work will include:
- Developing contacts across the organisation to gather intelligence that helps us to develop competition theories of harm- Scoping problems that require economic and competition investigation, including market failures that may be causing poor outcomes for consumers- Deciding how to undertake economic and competition investigation, working with economists, accountants, lawyers and data scientists- Contributing to project management, working with the project manager to ensure work is coordinated and on track- Undertaking your own enquiry into economic and competition problems, which could include designing requests for information and evaluating firm responses- Presenting insights and findings in interesting and clear formats including written, PowerPoint and verbally- Advocating for competition with internal stakeholders, helping colleagues to achieve our competition objective
What will you get from the role?
Our competitive flexible benefits scheme gives you the opportunity to create a personalised benefits package, tailored to suit your lifecycle. You can use this allowance to purchase additional benefits such as dental or cycle to work or you have the option top up your base salary by taking this as cash.
Core benefits that you will receive as standard are:
- 25 days holiday per year- Private healthcare with Bupa- A non-contributory Pension of at least 8% of your basic salary each month (there are several contribution levels that increase depending on your age - up to 12% a month once you reach the age of 35)- Life assurance of eight times your basic salary- Income protection- We support hybrid working which means you will be able to work from home up to 60% of the time over a month with the remainder of your time in one of our three office locations
Specific insights or unique benefits the role offers:
As part of the competition team, you will get to investigate whether and why financial services markets might not be working well for consumers. You will also help work out how financial services markets could be improved.
You will also get to present your results in interesting ways and to a range of audiences including senior colleagues. And ultimately you will get to make a difference - your problem solving will help consumers get access to better financial service markets.
The skills and experience you’ll have
Minimum- Proven experience in regulation and competition policy- Proven experience of scoping and solving complex problems, ideally problems in markets that require economic and competition investigation- Proven experience of project managing complex projects, including coordinating evidence produced by colleagues working on different parts of the project
Essential- Ability to communicate powerfully orally, in writing and visually- Good outreach and stakeholder management skills- Ability to work collaboratively and effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team- Experience advising and influencing internal and external stakeholders
