- A unique opportunity to get in at the start of high-profile, expansive, and exciting projects and to shape regulatory change for the consumer investment sector for the long-term
- You will use your analytical and policy skills to help to ensure the team delivers against the FCA’s strategy, business plan commitments, and our core objectives

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

Core benefits that you will receive as standard are:

- 25 days holiday per year plus bank holidays
