- Contributing to projects that help to facilitate BAU work, ranging from developing processes, frameworks, and strategies serving a range of operational and regulatory objectives
- Delivering against the supervisory strategy

What will you get from the role?
- The opportunity to shape and deliver the supervision of a fast-changing, diverse portfolio and gain insight into innovative business models and innovation across each sector.
- Working in a friendly and supportive directorate overseeing exciting sectors
- Building supervisory experience, such as use of relevant regulatory tools, taking ownership and justifying case decisions, and using influencing skills to secure good outcomes from stakeholders
- Developing knowledge of a fast-moving sector, including a strong understanding of the technology, and international regulation behind it
- Potential for interacting with internal senior management on high profile work
- Experience inputting into a wide variety of internal requests, such as information for international law enforcement agencies, FOI requests, press or media briefings, and more

Our competitive flexible benefits scheme gives you the opportunity to create a personalised benefits package, tailored to suit your lifecycle.
